I just got a broke down American Strat and i took the neck out and want to put it on my Mexican Strat but was wondering if it was a good idea?

The Pick Guard is also in perfect condition and it has the American Flag Sticker and everything on it.

theres no reason not to do it. You may struggle with the scratchplate screwholes lining up though.

Ya agree, whats wrong with the AM strat?
If the neck is in good condition the rest should not be hard to fix.
Unless the body is broken, and even that is not too difficult to get replaced.

The electronics are really easy to fix up :)

I thought you could not put a 22-fret MIA neck on MIM body due to there being some interference between the neck and the neck pup. I also thought MIMs and MIAs had different pickguards.

Please feel free to calibrate me. :?:
