Fender american deluxe jazz bass neck on p bass body

I'm look at doing so. Both parts are from 2010. Does anyone know if the screw hole will line up?

As long as both are from the deluxe series (22 fret necks), this should be fine.

Both have 21 frets. I did the exact same thing with my 2005 American deluxe p and it worked out fine. Everything lined up perfectly. I'm hoping to get luck again this time around!

Should be ok.

Where people run into issues is trying to put a DLX neck on a STD body. Unless the neck is one where the fretboard overhangs the pickguard, the 21st fret can really throw off the intonation.

Has anyone else done this mod on the newer american deluxes?
