BluesCube...you're right. The Yam Pacific and Gen Ex Tele standard look very similar. That Yam has a humbucker (double coil) front pickup whereas the Gen Ex tele standard has a single coil. I'm pretty sure the single coil neck pickup is reverse wound Keith Richards style. You gotta hear the tone from that thing!
If its' true that a Fender neck is too wide for a Peavey Gen Ex body then depending on how far off it is it would be easy to make it fit by routing or otherwise removing some of the material from the Peavey body cavity making the body cavity wider to accomodate the Fender neck or one could by shave some material off the base of the Fender neck to fit it into the existing Peavey Body cavity or you could do some combination of both.
Hard to know for sure what would work best since I haven't done it yet myself and haven't measured a Peavey Body Cav or the base of a Fender neck to see if they are sized differently and if so by how much.
There's a 95% chance that if it's not a natural fit a mod like this can be done by somebody with a bit of skill with woodworking. About all that would be needed is a router, a couple of chisels, hammer and a dremel or roto zip or other such high speed grider/sander.
Be interesting to know if anybody on the site has tried this mod yet? How about it fellas?
