Question Interchangeability of Necks?

[e.mate]

Coming back to different threads I have read here, I'd like to know if there's any matrix about which EBMM model body is combineable with which neck. Does anybody have that sort of overview?

I have no idea how to insert a table in this forum tool, otherwise I would start out with what I have understood so far....these obviously can go together:

Luke - Axis
Silo - SUB1

What about the rest?

You need to match the # of frets and the neck heel size.

The Axis & Luke are compatible with each other. Assuming the other 22 fret necks are as well.

That leaves the JP and Silo. Think they're slightly different at the heel.

Albert Lee 22 frets, 2 1/4" at last fret
Silhouette Special 22 frets, 2 1/4" at last fret
Steve Morse 22 frets, 2 1/4" at last fret

Axis 22 frets, 2 3/16" at last fret
LUKE 22 frets, 2 3/16" at last fret

John Petrucci 24 frets, 2 1/4" at last fret
Silhouette 24 frets, 2 1/4" at last fret --- different neck heels!

Wow so you could make a maple fret board JP huh, now that might be really cool!!!

Glenn, You would have to reprofile the back of the Silo neck in the heel area and most likely plug & drill new holes, otherwise it won't fit properly. They are not directly interchangeable.

Watch out for the number of frets, as the guys have said; the Silo is 24 fret, with the SUB being a 22 fret axe.

Oh yah Pete, I'm sure and didn't even take that into account.

Thanx, Glenn |B)
