Neck for Roland Ready Strat Body

[Updown]

Hi all.
Could some one tell me please.... if a Warmoth Pro Stratocaster  neck 22 fret / 25.5'' will fit into a Fender (Mexican) Roland Ready Strat Body ?
Haven't got body as yet ....it's coming !

But know which neck I'd like.
I think it will....Just checking 1st thou :glasses9:

Thanks Heaps

If it's a genuine fender body that has a 25.5 scale length (pretty much all of them are) then there won't be a problem  :icon_thumright:

It's generally not the scale length that's the problem, it's the neck pocket fit. Then, the place where that's usually wrong (if it's going to be) is in width. Blueprint standard is 3" x 2 3/16" x .625" (LxWxD). Warmoth builds to blueprint, not whim. The same can't be said of other companies, even some really big, famous ones who wrote the bloody spec in the first place.

Thanks for your replies....

Just so every-one knows.....Yes a Warmoth Pro Neck Strat, fits like a glove in the Roland Ready (Mexican) Fender Strat body.

Ordered a Neck, it's on its way, also some SD pickups, just to soup it up a bit.

Also in the middle of making a Warmoth V shape, all bits from Warmoth.......will post pic's later on !
This was the Neck that I tested in RR Strat body pocket (as it's the same measurements) 

Thanks again C-Ya  :glasses9:

It certainly may mount up, but does it intonate?  That's the major deal.
See this link for further measurements that are applicable.

Down in the fine print, you'll find this important factoid.  Compare it to yours for final spec check.
Distance from heel to midpoint of bridge saddle adjustment is 7-1/8".


Just want to make sure you have all the info you need before making a potential mistake based on not have such an important detail in hand.

Thank you, yep checked all there & all seems correct measurements.

The main thing that I was worried about, that the body was a (Mex) I know these can sometimes use different size bits & pieces.
For instance a Tremolo Arm might fit one but not the other some Mex are 6mm where standard Fender Tremolo use a smaller dia.

Suppose it's best to always check 1st thou :icon_biggrin:

Thanks C-Ya  Cheers  ccasion14:
