        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.

        A curved heel matches the curved end of an SC pocket.

        Width56 mm
        Length76 mm
        Depth16 mm

        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.
