Re: Guitar project #3
Dose any one know if this neck will fit the body?

And how hard would it be to put this on?

Re: Guitar project #3
I'm not sure about the neck, but it says it has a "vintage Strat sized heel," so it should.
Key word: should.
The bridge you linked is a 2-post. The original is a 6-hole. If you go with that bridge you'll have to drill for the larger posts, and you'll still have 4 leftover mounting holes from the old bridge. I guess if you're refinishing anyway you could plug them up and paint over them though.

Re: Guitar project #3
With a drill press - not bad at all
With a hand held drill - a little risky but still doable if you're careful
I would just find an aftermarket bridge that fits the original holes if it were me, but if you've already got your mind set on that Wilkinson then go for it.

Ok, just make sure you get the correct block. The arm hole on a Squier is usually in a different spot than the Mexican one.

Re: Guitar project #3
I´m pretty sure the vsvg trem is designed to fit 6 hole strat trem placement.

It also has measurements so you can check for yourself. :fing2:

seems to be the equivalent on that site. not sure I´d like to buy one without knowing the measurements first in order to check it though. :scratchch
Also I know some of the recent squires definitely don´t have standard strat neck pocket dimensions as I went into a shop and measured a couple of them a few months back. I don´t know about older ones though. (I think they may do - at least the Made in Japan ones.)

Re: Guitar project #3
email the guys at guitarfetish and ask them the measurements, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to give them to you, and then measure your own neck pocket. That way you'll know for sure.
Ok if any one here knows for a fact if the neck would fit that would be awesome
Thanks
