^ Those look screwy, and that overhanging lip? WTF.
I'd stay away.
Anybody have experience with these Chinese B+B necks on ebay?

The overhang is for the 22 frets, 21 fret has no overhang.

Not on 24" Fenders, it's not. All Jaguar/Mustang 24" necks have 22 frets with no overhang. I have 8 vintage and modern Fender shortsscales, and they're all 22 frets without an overhang.
This won't fit a standard Fender body - at least not a Jaguar/Mustang. I have no idea if they're intended as shortcake conversion necks or something weird like that, though.

I didn't know that, I've never owned a "real" fender, just one jag neck. I build all my guitars so the bodies are built to the necks.

I just bought a 24” scale b & b neck for a project. It needs a bit of fettling, the heel is a hair too wide and the frets need a bit of work, but all in all, it’s not bad.

OK, I know I'm bumping an oldie (ahem... why does that sound like a different website?) but here we go!
Got this neck: https://www.ebay.com/itm/374445199124
It FINALLY arrived today! It looks pretty good, but we'll really know once it's bolted up and ready to go.
Full thickness at heel: 1.04 inches / 26.4mm
Thickness at 1st fret: .87 inches/ 22.2mm
Thickness at 12th fret: .95 inches / 24.1mm
Oh, and the fretboard radius according to my gauges is actually 9.5 inches and not 10 inches like the seller said!
