Soputting in a fender neck wouldnt be so easy ? I just love the glazed necks on Fenders, but body of this one looks perfect. Was hoping of combining. Thanks for the video !
You would need to modify most likely. My direct fender replacement from warmoth body didn't fit the hb neck. So I bought a warmoth neck and built an electric guitar for myself and just repaired the body of the Harley Benton bc hurricane Ian destroyed it. If you were ok modifying the neck or the body pocket it probably wouldn't be a huge deal just I would want that joint to be a close fit IMHO. Happy to share content that folks find useful!! 🎸😎 Thanks for the question and feedback.
I was thinking of buying one of those and installing a fender neck with a bigsby tremolo on it. Seems like the neck pocket will require some adjustment. Thank you for this! It is very helpful
What's different on those bodies/brigde placement so that a fender pickguard doesnt fit 100% correct? They leave a gap between the pg and the bridge...
I'll have to look at it in a bit and get back to you on this. I know the pickguard did seem to fit a bit differently than my warmoth tele that I built. Give me a few hours and I'll post back here.
@backandfour I am posting a short right now in hopes that I determined the difference in the two similar guitars but basically the Harley Benton body is larger in every way, longer and wider...I'll link the short here also in a minute.
@staleyexplores NP. Just got me a MIJ custom 62' Fender body, which I'm building ATM. But these Harley Benton's look great value as a base for customisation.
