shortscale neck compatability

Post by borrowedworld »

saw a cheap bronco neck for sale, and it got me wondering what shortscale necks will fit the various bodies. for example, would such a bronco neck be compatible with a jag? is there a difference between the pockets of vintage and reissued shortscales? how about the jagmaster? will a vintage neck fit? i tried to find information in this forum as well as elsewhere on the intraweb to no avail. if this is a re-thread, my apologies.

yes

shouldn't be, but 70s fender neck pockets are often a bit wonky. but they tend to be on the large side, rather than too tight.

depends on the model of jagmaster. i think you should be ok with the japanese vista series, less sure about the chinese ones that use conversion necks.

96-98 jagmasters fit bronco, jaguar, mustang, (pre 1993)duosonic and musicmaster necks.



fuck any jagmaster made after 1998 they are shit and aren't worth fucking with

don't fucking listen to anyone else that says "yea but my later model jagmaster plays reall well bla bla bla bullshit bullshit mouth vomit and such"

robroe is fullon right. modern JM is shittae. I liked the 25.5" scale though, but just because I like silver sparkle.

leads me to yet another question, what are the chances of a vintage bronco neck fitting a warmoth mustang body? because i desire one with p-90s and don't have the minerals to rout a body myself.

:lol:
Tickled me, that did.
As far as scale goes it should fit, but the pocket might be too tight or not a tight fit, or maybe not deep enough (?). I'd email them dude.

what can i say, one of my favorite expressions :lol:


yeah i'm thinking i'm going to email them, i need a bastard-stang. people always frown on my not caring about the tone associated with shortscales, for me it's more about the scale, as i am about 5 foot 4 and it's a lot more comfortable than 25.5 for me.
