Title: The sort of question only a total Monkey would ask...
Post by: headtheball on October 23, 2006, 08:36:08 PM

Right.

I've been browsing the oh-so-well laid out Axes-r-us site, when I came upon those mahogany tele Bodies, which apparently have a 2 1/8" heel.

Now, I must admit, they look like a suitably solid piece of wood for my purposes. Next I looked for a neck. They don't seem to have any for that pocket size.

So, the question. Is 2 1/8" "Standard" fender size, and is that why I haven't seen it mentioned?

No, 2-3/16" is standard Fender size (so 2-1/8" is 1/16" narrower)

Should be a nice press fit into the body.  May need to give a whack with a knockometer (hammer)  :P

If it wont press in, then it shoudn't be too much effort taking 1/16 off the pocket (it's only 1/32 off each side)

Well then there you have it; you can admire the beautiful body whilst your hands are spanning a Guinness, no need to play it then is there. :P
