Replacing necks on Fender type guitars

[hunter]

I just thought I'd add an update to this.  My BKP Blackguard Flat 50 arrived on Friday so I installed it into the new Fender bridge and attached it to the guitar.  I strung it up and found that I'd over-compensated for the difference in neck thickness with my shim so I took the neck off again and reduced the shim to lessen the neck angle and this seems to work well.  Strung up the guitar has an amazing acoustic punch and sustains for days, much longer than my Tele.   I'm really excited to get the project finished to hear what it sounds like plugged in!  For now I'm sanding a piece of Bakelite into a new pickguard and I want to get that done before I start the electrics so completion will be someway off.  Here's an update of the strung up instrument:

It still needs a name though.  What do you call a hybrid Jazzmaster/Esquire/Stratocaster?

What about Strelemaster?

Thanks Hunter.  "Strelemaster" has been my working title for it and it may yet stick in the longterm- great minds think alike eh? ;)  I can't help feel that there's just something about it that's not quite surfy/spaceage enough though.

"Trigger's Broom"?  :P


Sorry.  :oops:  But it does seem to have very few original parts left already!
