Is it possible to put a Fender neck on a Squier?

I love my Squier Standard Series Tele, but the neck is very narrow at the nut. From what I remember reading the Squier neck pocket is slightly different.

Can anyone confirm this? Has anyone done this?

Depends what you are trying to do:

Original Strat standard neck. You will need to route and sand.

After market Stewmac or Warmoth. Check specs on their web page.

Allparts or Guitar Fetish. Contact them or take your chances. Tell them you want a radius finger board.

Regardless you will have to do some fitting and sanding.

Here is a wild idea. Get a fingerboard from Stewmac and cut the one off your neck and replace. Be carefull and consider a cheap neck to experiment.

It's going to play out the same way. There are no garantees on neck and body specs even on the same line of guitars. It's just trial and error until you find the right neck and body.

I would advise getting a whole other guitar to experiment with mods.

Why not sell the current guitar and use the proceeds to buy the one you really want. Buying another guitar to fool around with and then a neck which might not fit? Sounds expensive.
