I came upon a red 2001 Fender Squier Stratocaster recently, and I was wondering if anyone is knowledgable about these guitars.  I heard that the bodies of these guitars are quite good but the necks are junk.  It is in need of some repairs and some TLC but otherwise in good condition.  Would it be worthwhile to throw a new neck on this thing?

Hey all, first post here.

I had a 2005 Epiphone Les Paul standard that recently broke.  The neck just snapped in the case, no idea why.  I hadn't played it in quite sometime, but one day I went to open the case and it looked like this.  Any ideas what may have happened?  I probably never adjusted the truss rod, it may have been a combination of too much stress and being dropped in the case.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do in terms of replacing the neck, I'm not sure where to start in terms of material and type?  The body is solid maple (I think)...
