Because the 170's body is made of agathis, not that great and my ibanez 520 neck isn't that much different from my 170. Byut it does has a body made of better wood

Hello everyone, I'm new to this board, although i'm reading it for a few months. I have an old Ibanez rg170 that i'm planning to give an upgrade, brigde tuners etc. One idea i had is replacing the body(agathis) with the one from a rg550/570. The rg170 has got a non-AANJ neck, so i wil need a non-AANJ 550 body. But will a 170-neck fit a 550 body at all or are there any things i'm overlooking? thnx in advance
