I just bought a mahogany with pao ferro fingerboard warmoth neck for my fender and I want to satin finish it. I've looked around at guides but haven't really found pertaining to Satin finishes. Can I just pick up a can of clear satin finish at a Home Depot or something? And then just use a sponge brush to finish the neck? Thanks, Michael

The shape of a Strat® Heel is rounded The shape of a Tele® neck is squared that neck pocket looks rounded to me, strat neck

Thanks for the responses, The issue would be if this body had a 22fret neck to begin with that did not have an overhang. Then the new neck with an overhang would not fit/intone.

I bought a fat strat body and I'm putting it together with custom pickups/wiring/etc. and I need some advice on the neck. I was going to go with a Warmoth neck but I see on their page that there are conflicts with the Fat Strat body because the body may not allow for proper overhang and intonation if the original neck was 22 frets without overhang. Of course, I don't know what the original neck was so I'm in the dark on this one. The neck pocket measures the usual 3" x 2-3/16" x 5/8". I've taken some pictures here to show the pocket. Do you guys think I'll be able to go with a standard strat neck replacement and expect it to work? Thanks for any help! Michael
