Replacement neck for a 540PII - what fits?

[blackrg]

Any ideas what Ibanez or other neck will fit a 540 PII body?

It seems to have some kind of standard strat heel, but with offset neck screws.

I guess an RG neck wont fit because of the fretboard overhang?.

A warmoth strat neck perhaps?

If it uses a 22 fret neck and a 4 bolt plate on the back, any fender strat/tele should fit as well as the early Ibanez S type that use the old neck joint(not the newer AANJ type). An early RG neck with the overhang could be modded if you have a Japanese backsaw(pull the 23rd fret and saw thru) and a router with a template bit as the back part of the overhang will need to be cut another mm or so and the template bit will allow a perfect job(otherwise the overhang will hit the top of the body before the heel is fully seated in the pocket and tightening the neck screws will damage the neck-believe me, I almost ruined a neck myself).

Thanks!
