stvjohnson Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Hi, Will the dot neck from the 'Dot' model or the 'Dot Studio' fit onto a Casino body? Are Dot necks available as replacements, and if so, where? I have seen some Casinos offered for sale with broken necks and they get me thinking about putting together a custom project ... Thanks, stv
Parabar Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Generally speaking, a Dot or Dot Studio neck will not fit a Casino without substantial modification, The neck joins the body at the 19th fret on a Dot, and at the 16th or 17th (depending on exact model) fret on a Casino, so the neck heel will not be in the right place. The scale length would also end up wrong unless you also changed the position of the bridge and bridge pickup. Note the pictures below:
