I have a ibanez 540s guitar body and want to put a ibanez s-series All Access Neck Joint on it, but the body has a square neck joint. Is it possible to modify the neck or the body so it would bolt on correctly with out any defects in quality?

You can do it but i think it would be cool to mod it like a JEM non AANJ check out www.projectguitar.com for ideas/tutorials

Oh, why did you have to remind us of that VSK?

At least it goes out as a reminder to people, that if you don't know exactly what you're doing, then DON'T FREAKING DO IT! :lol:

I dont get why people are doing this, i personally find the regular heel much more comfortable then the aanj, since ive been playing strats and old rg's for a while now, i find it right for me. If you want an aanj buy an rg thats out right now, like they have very nice rg's that are even neck thru wich are very affordable. Id rather buy a new guitar than messing one up. Its just too risky.

Well how do you get a neck that came off of a guitar with a aanj to fit a different guitar body that fits a standard square heel?

no they dont. only the ones since 1993 do. all the ones before that had a slightly modified standard block heel.

BTW, it'd be dumb to take an AANJ neck and try to fit it to an old style body-- you can sell the AANJ on the evil auction site for a good bit more than an old style neck. I've got two old style necks sitting under my bed for projects because, well, they're cheap and I like the older profile more anyway.

Why would it be dumb... I would have a newer better neck on an older original guitar body for better speed and quality!
