Squier bullet red sparkle with a 50’s neck (for your appreciation).

You might find that the saddles shift to where they want to be. That might mean that they settle centrally, or they could move to one side. In which case a bit of a sideways neck shunt might be required.

Thanks.
How exactly do you go about doing that ?

Loosen the neck screws just a little, gently wrestle the neck to where you want it, and tighten up the screws.

I reckon it's about the most common tweak that Fenders need.

Thanks. I’ll give it try. Although by the looks of it, the neck is already right up the side.
- can only try though.

Haha
Just did it without even loosening the neck.
Just held the lower body horn with one hand and the top of the neck with the other; then give it good pull and ...
It’s done the trick.
Thanks again.

Excellent! Great result.

Looks great!

I have put necks on a guitar that cost more than the rest of the guitar put together. No regrets!

Lego tyres on the knobs. My favourite mod.

Well, that was easy! Nice work. Looks like it worked great.

Now that I really like. All Teles (and Strats) look better with maple fretboards.

THIS!!! ABSOLUTELY THIS!!!

I have nothing against rosewood and other dark woody-things per se, but Teles and Strats need maple!

The neck looks great.

Good job. I did the same with a Bullet Tele and MIM Cabronita neck. Screwed right on.

@Controller -- do you know what the fingerboard radius is, on that MIM Cabronita neck?

OK thanks.
