Mustang/Strat compatability...

[Empty Pockets]

Well my girlfriend just got her relic'd (or just beat to hell and back, one of those) 66 mustang body and we're dying to try it out. She's gonna get a neck from Warmoth soon but until then, would the neck from her Squier Affinity Strat work? I think i've heard stories of terrible intonation problems but i'm not sure.

thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the Scale length's are WAY off.

The Strat would be 25.5 inches and mustangs I believe were 24 inches?

But I know there was a big difference in scale length. So no I don't think the strat neck will work. However I believe Warmoth offers a Mustang scale neck

EDIT ... just reread your post and you were going the Warmoth route later anyway.

I'd just stick to that. Putting on a neck that was designed for a different guitar with a different scale length will cause some major intonation problems
