My black Squier 51 showed up today. The neck on that went to a Partscaster for my daughter, that fit way better than the '91 Tele Rosewood American Standard neck I had on there. I wanted to put that neck on the S'51, but it appears it's about a 1/16" shorter than the S'51 neck. This is the height from the bottom of the neck to the top of the fretboard.
BIG QUESTION HERE... I've never needed to shim anything before. Anyone know the best material to use for resonance and to get an even fit between the pocket and the neck heel?
I think the width fit is okay, but definitely not super snug. The Tele Am Std neck is 22 frets too, not 21 like the S'51 neck. That shouldn't matter I hope?!?
Thanks in advance!
