;D Well I did have to check that, and that does equal 25.5 inches.

The width of the heel is a little wider than on a standard fender neck 2 5/8" I think.

I have seen a couple of references suggesting that the necks are quite thick too, but the neck on my XII is a replica based on the measurements mentioned above, and I can't comment on the details of an original neck.

Compared to my '66 Jazzmaster, the neck on my '66 XII is a fair bit thicker. It is definitely more of a "U" shape, versus the more "C" shape of the Jazzmaster's. I haven't measure anything, but just by eyeing it up, it looks like it may indeed be wider up toward the heel than the Jazzmaster.

did anybody ever check this to see if it would work.  i'm eyeing a xii coronado neck for this very purpose.  it doesn't look like the scale would shift that much..
