I am looking to put together a parts guitar. Where i want to take a cheaper mim tele or a squire and put a rosewood neck on. I know that strats vary in size when it comes to the heel cup. And i know that an american strat neck wont fit a mexiacan and visa versa. So it it the same with teles?

Another question is that if i strip a squire of all its electronics and have it professionally set up, will it play any worse than say an american standard? For instance, if i over time upgrade the tuners, pickups, wiring and shave the neck and have the action all set up correctly, would it be any different than a higher end one?

Thanks for all your help :mrgreen:

I dont know about the size, but i know I love my heels contoured. Thats why I prefer the feel and playability of the Fender Deluxe teles and strats, because of the contoured heel. Its more comfortable to me.

They are supposed to be a standard size. This is not fully the case as there are USA and metric differences (rounding) that takes place. My CIJ tele pocket was slightly different than my MIA tele for example. It is a very small difference though.
