WTT, Poss WTB Strat Neck w Jackson profile & radius

Latest in an increasingly niche series of requests from me.

I’m currently in the process of rebuilding a nice Strat bitsa for a mates son. He’s going single humbucker, single volume and in addition to that is asking about the feasibility of swapping the neck for something slinkier and more modern feeling than the Squier CV50s neck that’s currently on there

 He’s liking the feel of the current Jacksons around the £6-700 mark so 43mm nut, 12-16” compound rad and in his works “Skinnier than Fender but not Ibanez Wizard thin) 

Trying to avoid the scope creep and keep this as a budget build rather than going a full on Warmoth so wondered if anyone had anything lurking about.

Can trade or part ex the Squier CV 50s neck if you’re interested !

    What are the Squier neck pocket dimensions? I may have something suitable.

    CAUTION: Any neck with a droopy headstock is likely to cause tuning stability issues unless a string clamp device is used at or immediately behind the nut.

    String clamping obliges fine tuner adjustment at the vibrato. i.e. The very project scope creep that you seek to avoid.
    Be seeing you.

    Thanks for responding, measuring the width of the current neck it’s coming in at 55.9mm and it’s a pretty snug fit, what do you have in mind ?
