Will a Squier VM neck fit a SX LTD 75 Jazz body?

Looking to upgrade to an SX 75 ash body. Will that VM neck fit, and more importantly, will the screws holes line-up??

most likely not, but you can over drill the existing holes, and fill with small wooden dowels. Then you'll have a blank slate to redrill new holes. It's not a hard repair. The other issue is that not all necks are the same width and depth. It is always best to measure twice and buy once.

Good luck.

Thank you Syco_bass!

I once fitted a MIM Fender neck to an SX P body - the neck pocket was a little over sized for the Fender neck, and the screw holes needed to be filled and re-drilled... It turned out well, but it wasn't a straight bolt up...

I was hoping for a EASY neck to body mod...

Then your best bet is to stick to Fender and Fender licensed parts - SX basses aren't true to Fender specs, IME...
