Kostas said:Yes, you can put it on a soloist body.
You can order a strat neck with the same specs (minus the F logo) from Warmoth for half price.
AutoBat said:The Jim Root neck has the Fender countoured heel, so to match it to a W body would either take some extra wood working to match it to the neck, or an extra hole in the neck to match it to the body.
You'd be better off with a new W neck, especially if you go with stainless frets.

Biggus Pickus said:Also on the Fender JR neck, the side dots are halfway between the maple neck and ebony fretboard.
stubhead said:The undercut fret tangs are actually an improvement, if they're done for the proper reason, which is to keep the frets from protruding and catching your finger. You notch the frets similar to what's done to make then fit over binding, only, there's no binding. I'm not at all sure that that's why FENDER does them that way.
Biggus Pickus said:I think the 50/50 side dots are from back in the day when Fender used thinner veneered fretboards, and only half of the side dots would fit on the rosewood...and maybe, nowadays, the only reason they still do 'em that way (even if the board is thick enough not to justify it) is because they used to do 'em that way.
