I am partial to the shape of the headstock of a Tele but the vintage tint on the Peavey neck and the vintage tuners and the shape of the neck and the quality of the piece of wood on my guitar is so good there's no reason to replace it.

But for those of you that have to have a Tele headstock you could easily buy a licensed headstock from Warmoth or get a used tele headstock and put it on the Peavey body and use the Peavey tuners and the rest of the Peavey rig.

That's one thing that is so cool about buying inexpensive guitars. You have so much money left over you can have fun making all kinds of mods if you want to. The set up on my Peavey was way to high so today I spent 45 minuts adjusting the truss rod and string height and intonation. I can't find any flaws with this thing now that it's set up right.

Incredible bargain for under $200 brand new.
I'm pretty sure that a Fender neck will not fit on a Peavey. The Peavey neck is wider.
