southcaver Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Can anybody tell me the dimensions for a Squier neck ie what the standard width needs to be on the body and also the depth. cheers lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 the new or the old? some of the new squire necks are 24 frets, where as the older ones where cheap clones of the standard fender 22 fret necks.. you'll have to be a bit more precise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLS Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 I have a 24 fret squier, heres the dimensions Depth of neck pocket: 10cm Width of neck heel: 2 in. 3cm But remember this is for the 24 fret neck ot the 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHowell Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Depth of neck pocket: 10cm Width of neck heel: 2 in. 3cm Are you sure thats correct? The DEPTH of the pocket should be about 20mm, the LENGTH about 75mm and the WIDTH about 60mm. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belial Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Depth of neck pocket: 10cm Width of neck heel: 2 in. 3cm Are you sure thats correct? The DEPTH of the pocket should be about 20mm, the LENGTH about 75mm and the WIDTH about 60mm. Keith I agree, but with squire thier dimentions change from model to model so it's hard to say. Are you trying to build a replacement neck or a body to fit your existing neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joris Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 I measured the pocket of my Fender Strat and came up with this Pocket depth : 19.1 mm Pocket length : 73.5 mm Pocket width : 56 mm I think it all depends on the kind of neck you are using.

GuitarMaestro Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Beware....BLS definately mixed something up....a depth of 10cm is completely impossible as a Strat is only 45mm deep.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 i'm still thinking you should have the neck in your hands before you go routing a neck pocket for it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 i'm still thinking you should have the neck in your hands before you go routing a neck pocket for it.... I second that....everything else will work at best and not work at all usually....and you will NEVER get a really tight and good fitting neck pocket without routing it for a neck you have in your hands.

KeithHowell Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 I couldn't agree more. My measurements were just a guide after I saw BLS's rather mixed values (inches and centimetres??? only dress makers use centimetres engineers ALWAYS use millimetres) and didn't want anyone to make a decision on something so confusing! No offence BLS I was just somewhat shocked at the mixed units. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 it's common practice to NOT use cm at all in engineering!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
