Hi guys,

I was thinking about picking up the John 5 telecaster model, as it has everything I want (tele body style, black w/ binding, tele neck pickup, and bridge humbucker).

However, I can't stand the gigantic headstock on it :(

I was wondering if a standard tele neck would fit it? Or do you know where i can find the dimensions?

Thanks!

A standard Tele neck should fit.
The neck pocket is clearly cut for a Telecaster neck, and not a Strat neck.
A Strat neck has a curved bottom, where a Telecaster neck has a streight bottom, the same as the John 5 Tele neck.

if your gonna change the neck you might as well just build your own guitar then.

That's more like something that Woodie would do.
He'd get Tony Zemaitis to build it, but he died in 2002. :mrgreen:
