Yeah baby! ... 
I really dug this project.
A
Fender neck on a Gibson body.
In the words of Baron Von Frankenstein:
"IT'S ALIVE!!!".
What player hasn't had this passing or even desirous thought??
It is a full 25 1/2" scale flame maple neck set into the mahogany DC Les
Paul body. Once we had it laid out, the longer scale neck with the full-sized
Strat-style head looked real lanky and ugly on the comparatively
smaller-than-a-Strat LP Special-style body. Like something of a "Theme
From an Imaginary Import"..... I called the customer and recommended
we opt for my "down-sized" 4 & 2 Strat-style headstock. On paper it looked
like the way to go and the final product speaks for itself - what language, I'm
not sure, but it's a sexy voice!
To keep the job "affordable", we had to cut the neck off and route the stump
from the mortise joint. It would have been nice to save the neck, but these
have a thin and tight joint that would have allowed too much steam and heat
into the area, causing a white haze in the black paint surrounding the joint.
That would have required refinishing the body, near doubling the price.
