WTB Aria Superstrat Neck 'Jackson Style Headstock'

Hi all,
        I've acquired an aria Mega Metal Stage 1 kpi (rare as hens teeth), active
electronics, kahler trem, and someone has changed the neck to a strat type C shape.
I would like to revert it to a similar or same neck as the original

    Measure the neck pocket width. An aftermarket neck will probably fit.

    Does the spurious Stratocaster style neck have a Floyd Rose style combined nut and string clamp or a traditional nut and a separate Kahler style behind-the-nut clamp?

    @Funkfingers the existing 22 fret neck is marked 'aria pro ii legend ii' and appears
    to be off their floyd equipped telecaster for the japanese market, and has a floyd
    style nut.
    From what I can tell the neck I require is 25.5 inch scale & dimensions at the pocket are
    2 3/16''

    There is an Aria following on this forum. They might be able to assist you. Paging @ICBM ;

    That's going to be difficult - that type of Aria uses a full-length 22-fret neck, not a 22nd-fret 'overhang' neck like Fender and almost all others do. This means that about 99% of aftermarket necks won't fit - or rather, they may well fit in the pocket but it will be impossible to set the intonation correctly because the neck will be too far into the body.
