Tele 12string

[dmraco]

Anyone know of a good 12 string neck for a tele pocket?  Unfortunately warmoth only makes them with a strat pocket.

They have a strat style heel.  This is for a tele style.

As long as you're going with a 22 fret neck it won't show.  Will a snake head hold more tuners? Or go with the BC-rich tuners at the other end solution. I think I'd just pick a 22 fret neck and call it a day.

Strat heels fit in Tele pockets without issue. You can't tell you've done it because it's not easy to see. The difference is small and essentially hidden by fretboard overhang. You'd have to know it's been done and look for it in order to see it.

I am more concerned with the neck marketing full contact in the pocket.  I guess I could always fill the gaps. 

It know the debate is out on how it effects tone.  I would just feel better about it.  I guess that is my OCD kicking in

Well, the side-to-side fit would still be there, which covers about 80% of it. But, I can appreciate your wanting a perfect fit.

If it bothers you enough,since the tele pocket is square, you could glue in a block and reroute for strat. But that's just for your OCD.

If you're really OCD & absolutely need to have a 12 string neck with a square heel, BGP has that option through their neck builder, as well as a few options that W doesn't (such as 1 3/4" wide nut on conversion scale necks).
