Superwide neck questions

[Name]

Do they fit a different neck pocket than a normal neck? Do the strings line up with the pickup pole pieces like normal? Do you need some kind of special bridge for them? Thanks in advance for any answers!

Umm... No, hopefully close enough and no.

Seriously though, useful info here.

I put one together for another member here a couple/few years ago, and the way Warmoth does it is to slightly undercut the neck meat under the fretboard so it'll fit the standard Fender 2 3/16" x 3" neck pocket/bolt pattern. It's not real obvious that it's been done once the guitar is assembled, and you end up with a neck that feels like a superhighway. Since it fits a standard pocket, you can install one on just about any of their bodies.
