According to my measurements for a fender neck pocket, this body is very close to the same measurements. This body is about the same thickness as a Fender body. The neck pocket on this body may be slightly bigger than a Fender neck pocket, but the MIM neck should fit. To be sure, just measure your neck heel width and compare to the body specs. Keep in mind, my measurements aren't laser accurate, I'm using plastic calipers, so I'll at least be very close. Also, with this body from eBay, you will have to drill all of your own holes, which must line up very well.

From eBay ad:
Neck pocket Depth 15mm
Neck pocket Width 56.5mm
Neck pocket Length 76mm

My measurements, Fender body:
Neck pocket Depth 15mm
Neck pocket Width 55mm
Neck pocket Length 75mm

Be prepared for some creative shim work within the pocket to assure adequate tuning stability and sustain.

And plot your neck mounting holes very carefully......if you screw the pooch there, you buy the ranch.
