Squier CV tele - neck replacement options

bigfuzz

Morning all, 

So I've owned a lovely CV tele for a few years now and I've always been 'coping' with the skinny neck profile. Now I've got a bit of time and spare cash to play with, I'd like to explore what neck replacement options I have?

I'm by no means an expert on this, so please have patience. From what I've read / been told over the years I understand the neck pocket / joint is crucial to finding a neck to replace the stock neck with. The problem is I have no idea how to check (without attempting to fit a neck) if a replacement neck will fit?

In terms of my preference, I've always favoured the profile on my japanese jazzmaster, I'm guessing that's a U/D profile? 

Anyway, I'm looking to spend roughly £100 on a 'plays like butter' (sigh) neck.. any ideas?

I'd see if you can get a decent second hand Warmoth neck. Or even stretching your budget and getting a new one!

I'd be looking to get something I can slot in without any extended work (I'd definitely make it a dogs dinner). Now would I be completely ridiculous in thinking of sticking another JM neck on the tele?

The neck on my old Japanese Jazzmaster had the same profile as my US Strat, so you could look at a Strat neck. However my CV Tele neck has a very similar profile to my Strat neck, so i'm not sure you be gaining much if you did.

@johnnyseven - interesting to hear! after years of playing both, there's a definite lack of girth on the CV. The neck itself feels ok, I just wish it was a little chunkier!

Does your JM have a B&B neck? If not, maybe some are just chunkier than others.
