Recently acquired a body from a guitar I’ve been looking a long time for. A Charvel Wild Card 3 from 2010 in matte black with a single direct mount humbucker.
I had a Charvel neck (also from a USA Pro Mod) that I could use with it, but it doesn’t fit in the pocket correctly and the angle is off.
Do they carve these neck pockets different for top-mounted floyds with a direct mount pickup? (Since it seems to need a little more clearance?) I don’t have the original neck, but I’m doubting they would have shaved the neck to make it fit properly would they?
I can’t shim the neck the other way to even it up or else it will make the bridge even higher.
What can I do here, do I need someone to shave down the pocket to cut the angle a bit?
