Would this work (Neck Conversion)

[ohioplayer]

I saw this photo:



I had given that some thought with the 550/570 neck I have to use it with my CWG swirl. I was afraid that the intonation would be off and never gave it much more thought. Now that I see this photo, I wonder ... would this work and still keep the intonation correct? if so, I can stop looking for a neck and focus on a trem.

Anyone? Would like to get cracking on this this weekend. Thanks guys!

There's no real reason why it wouldn't "work", but I'm not convinced it would be worth the effort to get it right.

Well I don't think you should be worried about it.

Intonation is a matter of "bridge posiotion" (ie saddles) so, unless the converted neck has a big difference compared to the original one (a fret off-axis of cms...), you just need to check your intonation like you'd always do when unscrewin the neck

Currently I just cant afford a new neck for it and since this neck was included in a trade, if I screw it up, it cost me nothing. if it works, it saves me $$$ and since I can't get an answer from Chris Wood's people (sent two emails, no response), I have to use what I got ... unless someone here needs a 570 neck, I'm stuck with it ...

I don't see why it shouldn't, it worked for Steve.

atleast try it.

If it doesn't work no real loss.

If it does yay

The problem is the heel. The AANJ neck has the heel that ends at the last fret. The older non-AANJ heel ends before the 22nd fret so intonation will be out the window.
