Modern player telecaster plus: will Warmoth neck fit?

[buckallred]

Hi folks:

Played one of thhese teles at guitar center recently. I thought it was pretty cool and fun for the $$ (less than $400).

Does anyone know if a Warmoth neck will bolt on this tele's body? The guitars are madein china and apparently have some different specs than MIM fender bodies and necks.

hard to say. its 22 frets. does it have a fretboard overhang? some modern fenders have a different heel location in relation to the bridge. it also might have metric dimensions. it might fit but either need sanding or be loose. its hard to say because not to many people have these Chinese fenders that I know of.

I searched around and the most information came from tdpri (go figure).
The Modern Player series does NOT have an overhang, so you will not be able to use Warmoth replacements on them

the neck pocket is deeper to accomodate, bridge is still in the 'usual' position relative to the rest of the body whilst maintaining a 25.5 scale length.
