square or round heel tele necks?
USACG makes their tele necks with square heel and I can request it to be round like other necks.

The question is, will USACG square heel necks fit into allparts tele body? Do I have to request for round heel?

In this case, which is better? Round or square? Thanks.

Thanks. Pretty straight forward.

I clicked on your website, maybe you can put up a few more pages to showcase your services. I'm sure people in the forum might be keen.

Yeah...I apologize for that, it's pretty much just contact info...I'm not much on maintaining a Website at the present time, but maybe in the future ?

If need help with your website, do let me know, I can refer you to some free lancers.

Traditionally, Tele's have a square heeled neck/square bottomed neck pocket and Strats have a round heeled neck/round bottomed neck pocket.

Leo was a very practical man. I wonder why he did it that way?
Maybe so replacement necks would be backwards compatible ?

Yes, Leo was practical, however I wish that all truss rod adjust are on the top and not the heel, haha.
