tele body for this neck

[yankeemike]

I just took apart this guitar I gave $30.00 for just so I could fix a squier and have a usb recording interface, the neck is 2 3/16's wide and has a square heel like a tele, and there may be enough headstock to trim it down to a tele shape, do the GFS lightweight tele bodies sound like a tele, I will trim the 22nd fret off if interferes with the neck pu,

a pic would help guys to figure out what is best .... take it with a ruler next to the neck and along the heel..... this will help the question being well answered as you have a specific neck that you are trying to find a body for.....
if it's 2 3/16, that corresponds with a fender type neck.... both the tele and strat have that measurement, as well as others by the same company..... will it be a perfect fit at the pocket for that neck?, that remains to be seen.....

as far as the GFS bodies, there is a lot of info on this site regarding their products - some are glowing, other less than that

as far as a body sounding like a tele, it is more a combination of the bridge and pickups than the shape..... you can get a very tele sound out of different types of wood, and different shapes (and if you don't think so, look at the challenge build that is a tele/mosrite combo)

take your time, and make an educated choice for yourself as opposed to relying solely on advice from the interweb..... i am NOT knocking the question, just asking you to decide as to what YOU want

Sure looks like it would work. You shouldn't have to trim the 22nd fret, but you might need to use a single-ply pickguard depending on how low the overhang is. This one has a 22-fret neck:
