Is it possible to put a Squier Classic Vibe Tele neck onto either a Fender Modern Player Tele plus, or onto a fender blacktop tele?

My Classic Vibe neck is 21 frets and the specs on the modern player and the blacktop are 22. Let me know what you think.

The number of frets won't affect scale length or the size of the neck pocket.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

It affects the intonation on certain guitars and basses.

Fender's standard way of making a 22 fret Telecaster neck is to add an overhang at the heel end to accommodate the extra fret.
The Modern Player series with 22 frets don't have a fretboard overhang but a longer neck and longer neck pocket so a Classic vibe neck wouldn't fit or perhaps I should say would leave a gap between the heel end of the neck and the bottom of the neck pocket.
It would fit a Blacktop with the usual reservations about adjusting the neck pocket slightly to fit.
