Did it, not something you should really do on your own. The neck pocket will not fit a Fender neck immediately, the neck pocket is too small. It must be routed a bit wider, and depending on the finish, the veneer can flake and crack when routed into. The only reason to do this is if you don't like the P-width and want a narrower neck. Otherwise your Thunderbird is essentially already a Fenderbird, it is actually a Fender with humbuckers (alder body and maple/rosewood neck).
