I have two MB Clapton models, made by different builders but both the neck and the pups I prefer are on the guitar whose body color I don't like much. The other one in Oly white is much nicer, and I want to swap neck and pups. Before I try it, does anyone know if it the fit should be all right, or whether it's a bad idea? I will try it unless somehow it is a not done thing, though I thing the sizes should be quite close.

Thanks

All the parts should be interchangeable where you should not have any problems.

One aspect to consider is that if you sell one of the guitars some day, the alterations will likely impact the value of the instrument as a Masterbuilt guitar.

It may be worth it if the outcome of the swap is a truly great guitar that you keep for a long time.

Just something to consider.

Best of luck.

Thanks for the replies.

Actually I can just swap necks and the loaded pickguard and swap the back if I ever sell one, unless the builder's name is also in the body.
