    Guitar body buying guide

    Will my neck fit?

    Start with the neck pocket, then check the scale length. A few measurements now make the rest of your build easier.

    SC & TC explained
    1Match the shapeRounded or squared heel?
    2Check the dimensionsWidth, length and pocket depth.
    3Confirm the scaleUse the specification for your body.

    Two shapes. An important difference.

    TC neck pocket

    Squared end

    A squared heel matches the squared end of a TC pocket.

    Width56 mm
    Length76 mm
    Depth16.8 mm

    These are the SC and TC examples shown in our neck-pocket guide. Always check the specification of the body you are ordering; other models and bass bodies can differ.

    Already have a neck?

    Measure the heel and compare its shape and dimensions with the body’s neck pocket. A matching width alone does not confirm compatibility.

    Check the scale length too. If you are mixing neck and body types or using a conversion neck, ask us to check the combination before ordering.

    Before you apply a finish

    Check that your neck and hardware fit before finishing your body. Compare the bridge and pickup requirements with the product details.

    For a different rout or another small change, contact the workshop first so we can confirm what is possible and provide a quote.
