Replacement for Fender CP Jazzmaster neck

Hey all,

Currently own a Fender Classic Player Jazzmaster. LOve the guitar, but the neck is something I would like to change. Does anyone know of any different necks that would fit onto this guitar? maybe some sort of stratocaster neck? would love something with larger frets and less of a finish.

My advice is to buy an aftermarket neck through a company that can do customs like Halo or Warmoth. They sale necks that fit to those bodies and you can have a custom made to your specifications.

GEAR:

  • Gibson SG Standard

Have you looked at Stewart Macdonald? (stewmac.com, I believe)

I bought a Stew Mac neck for my Fender frankenstrat. Fit like a glove, and I love the feel. It's one of my favorite necks of all my guitars. Headstock came in a rectangle, you shape it however you want. Tuning gear holes were pre-drilled. Includes fret wire (already installed).

I swear by Fender branded necks sold on ebay.com by Stratosphere (AKA reliable Fender) and Warmoth. I have also been thinking about buying one of Lindy Fralin's modified Allparts licensed necks. He buys their biggest strat and tele necks in bulk and then reshapes the back to a unique assymetrical profile of his own devising. I don't know if its good, I just keep meaning to try it. They aren't expensive.
