fabbr Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I was about to ask that question, my Variax Standard arrives today and I really want to use a Fender neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsdenj Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 You might just try changing to a wider nut, getting the frets leveled (they aren't that finely tuned from the factory) and doing a good setup on the Variax Standard neck. That can result in a much more playable guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricstudioc Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 fwiw - i put a fender neck on my 69, the stock neck was too much a baseball bat for my tastes. But I kinda like the Std neck as is. Give it a whirl before jumping.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcamponovo Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I would definitely recommend getting a good setup and a fret-buffing before changing the neck all together. I have a Mexi-Tele that was refretted and I even had the shape of the neck sanded down a bit. These kinds of things can make a guitar feel totally different than stock. Give it a try before changing the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I agree with the others, check the setup and tweak to taste before jumping right to a new neck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a moot point anyway...Strat necks don't fit the Standard. It's been discussed in other threads. The heel might fit the pocket, but scale is an issue. The resulting position of the frets relative to the bridge are not the same as the stock neck. Intonation will never be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Somebody said that a Tele neck might fit but I have not heard any more about that. Strat neck does not fit the Std. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
