I am redoing my post as the topic was not clear.

I am looking to buy a used 70s re-issued neck to put on my son's squirer.
the seller tells me that it should fit and the fender says it has a U shape neck. My son likes playing on his squier and I think that has a C neck.
Is there much differece between the two?

The U shape will be thicker from front to back.

Hi aeliaz1: the solution to your neck purchasing dilemma is posted on your other thread:

Google search neck shapes to find pics of the differences. For example, here:

Yes - Huge difference. If it were me ... "Ummm, Dad, can you take off the baseball bat you put on my guitar and put back the original Squier neck?"
