Swapping Silo special and Albert Lee necks

[edcat]

I brought up this topic a while back but got 2 opposing viewpoints so I'm going to try again. I had an AL but the neck always strained my hand so I had to get rid of it. On the other hand, the neck on my Silo Special feels great. I loved the sound of the AL and would get another if I could put a Silo Spec neck on it. Would this be possible? I'd appreciate all opinions. Thanks.

Hello
I also love a Silo neck, but I have never tried an AL. Can you tell me how they differ? Thanks

they are the exact same size............and will interchange just fine.
22frets?
5 bolt ?
if so.....you will be fine. they are the same scale & all.

Carefully measure the necks at the body end when they are removed from the guitars - if they're identical in width and depth, well, like Tommy says, why not?

But different radius? narrowness? correct?
I'm guessing you are only referring to the pocket connection itself!?
