I've got a nice Warmoth Strat neck that I'd like to put on a CP Jazzmaster body (from ebay). The CP Jazzmaster Specs say it has an "enhanced neck pocket" -- will a Strat neck work here?

Thanks in advance!

There shouldn't be any problem so long as the Warmoth neck's heel is built to spec. The "enhanced neck pocket" mentioned for the CP Jazzmaster body merely means that the floor of it has a slight downward bevel to increase the angle between the neck and the body and provide more break angle as the strings pass over the bridge saddles. This helps to keep the strings from bouncing out of their saddles during "enthusiastic" picking and strumming (a known shortcoming of the original Jazzmaster bridge).

I would like to swap out the body on my CP Jazzmaster to get the bridge in the traditional position, is this possible with a CP Jazzmaster?

The bridge is in the traditional position. 25.5 inch scale.

But the Tremelo assembly, and its giant routing is closer to the bridge. It would be difficult to move that without re-routing.

Will a classic player neck work on a standard jazzmaster body (AVRI)?
