G'day everyone!

Just wanted to know if one of you experts out there has some super esoteric information I can have a lend of?

Will the neck pocket in a '95-'96 MIJ Jag accept a '67 Jag neck? I hear that MIJ/USA isn't a problem but I've heard whispers that fender may have changed pocket dimensions over the years.

Thanks a bunch!

Sammy

Since you've had no answer from someone who's done that exact switch, I'll reply with a sorta vague and somewhat useless answer:
The necks should be interchangeable, but expect some fitting/modding issues (as in any neck replacement, if one is OCD about how a neck sits in the pocket). :wink:

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the reply :) As long as I'm confident that it'll be close enough that's fine

+1

I have successfully mated MIJ Strat necks to MIM Strat bodies and vice versa several times without significant issues. I'd posit that the swap you envision is doable.

Usually there shouldn't be a problem. You may need to shim it, but that's not a problem. The only Jaguar neck that I know of for sure that has a bit of a different neck angle in the pocket is the Johnny Marr.
