Can anyone help??
I have a Fender JAPAN Jaguar and was looking at buying a replacement neck, most places necks are made to Fender USA specs, will Fender USA necks fit Fender JAPAN bodies?? and vice versa will Fender JAPAN necks fit Fender USA Bodies?
thanks all

Re: Fender Japan / USA Compatability
As far as I know they will fit without a problem. The MIJ/CIJ Jag has the same neck pocket as a Vintage or AVRI Jaguar.
I now have a CIJ Jazzmaster with a Allparts maple neck. Fits like a glove. So I see no problems.
I swapped necks from various CIJ/MIJ Jaguars in the past, they all look identical to me as far as the pre drilled holes go and the heel width.

Not that it's my business, but a '65 Mustang neck would be CBS if it was after 01-65.

OK, how about this then...
'62 Jag neck on a '86/'87 MIJ body.
So: yeah, they fit. I had a bit of a problem putting my '74-ish Musicmaster neck on the Japanese jag body, as the fit was rather on the tight side, so it needed a wee bit of force. The '62 jag neck fit fine though.
Oh, yeah, the inverse is also true. At the moment I have the original Japanese neck of the pictured guitar on a '69 US Jag body. If I find the time to do a bit of repair work to the '69 body, it's going back on the Japanese one though.
