Yes Matt , I think that's the way to go...
The green body is from a Squier 20th anniversary....now I've read somewhere that the anniversary models were made from better wood ...I don't know but it feels as heavy as the sunburst one but it's 5mm thinner.
The neck fits the pocket that well that I can pick it up with it just slotted in ( I haven't drilled it yet ).... so I'd rather go with that than have one that's sloppy.
Now , I want it to be different , but I don't know how yet.Originally posted by Mr Grimsdale

I had a 20th Anniversary! That body has a good shaping to it, it's not bad.
Some early 60's strats I've picked up, have been a slight bit thinner than standard. I don't think it's that big a deal.
I picked mine up in a pawn shop for 85, wound up selling the body and electrics on ebay for about the same and kept the CBS headstock - which is what I wanted out of the deal anyways - for free.
However, do make sure your intonation point will match up with the neck: take a measuring tape or yardstick, tape the trem down where the bridge holes will line up, and then measure from the forward edge of the nut to the arcpoint of the string saddle.
You should have 25 1/2" inches and if not, adjust the saddle as far as it can go forward to see if you got enough travel to get 25.5"Comment

The green version looks cool. Go with that.
Wish I could just scan and post the Chapter from Dan Erlewine's book on neck-attachment...lays it out fairly simply...with measurements for neck-bridge alignments for vintage trems, Floyds...the whole shebang.Originally posted by conmee

I installed a Floyd nut using a Dremel tool with a router attachment and it worked great.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

The Charvel neck I'm gonna use tomorrow for my pictorial has what looks like the nut ledge sawed off with a radial arm saw.
If you have access to a radial arm saw and can sit there to meticulously lower the depth till it's right, that's one way to go.
And if you order from Warmoth I believe they do the nut slot either way, Floyd or standard at no extra charge, am I wrong?Comment

Floyd nut prep's a $35 upcharge from Warmoth, I believe....Originally posted by conmee
