so i have the jaguar classic player special hh. im sure everone is familiar with it but if you're not, here's some of the specs... FINGERBOARD RADIUS: 9.5" (241 mm) FRET SIZE: Medium Jumbo
NUT WIDTH: 1.650" (42 mm)

i absolutely hate this neck... the body is amazing but i cant stand the neck. so im going to get a custom one built.
i want a neck with a 7.25 in neck radius, vintage fret sizes, and a nut width of 1.625 or 41.3 mm...

will a replacement neck with 7.25 in neck radius, vintage fret sizes, and a nut width of 1.625 or 41.3 mm... fit on the body without any modifications needed to the guitar??? this guitar has the fender adjustomatic bridge... will that matter?

If you order a custom neck, the builder should know his/her business so the neck fits...

The Adjusto-Matic™ bridge may need some work, if the 7.25" radius causes trouble, but I wouldn't think so.
The radius difference is small (less than 0,5mm/.020" each side at the heel), plus "flattening the radius" at the bridge is one common cure for choking-out-when-bending problems.

I'm very surprise you hate 9.5 radius fingerboard,

Do you have an other guitar ? which one , which neck ?

What is your experience with guitars / neck ?

How do you know you will like 7.25 radius ?

A quality custom neck is very expensive $450 at Guitar Mill

I have a customer who buy all his custom neck at Guitar Mill

thanks for the reply. Ive been playing for 15+ years. I have a cobain mustang and a mij mustang, mij strat that all have 7.25 radius necks... ive never like anything other than 7.25 neck radius for many years now. lol thats just what i dot used to i suppose. im a dead believe that a 24in scales, 1.625 nut width and vintage size frets are the best for me.
