Hey folks. So I've been meaning to swap the neck on my SX Furrian...the body is super nice and I've got killer electronics in there but the neck is just so-so. Does anyone happen to know if any particular replacement neck fits without too much finagling needed? Warmoth, Allparts, Mighty Mite, etc?
I'll get measurements of course, but just curious if anyone's done a neck swap on one of these and might know off the top of their head.
Thanks!

I've had an SX Thinline which I assume is similar to a Furrian, plus an SX Taurus-2, which I think is just a glorified Furrian.
I put an Allparts maple strat neck on the Thinline ( soft-v, 7.25"..oh, la la) , and a Sqier CV strat neck on the Taurus-2. They worked out great if you dont mind the strat curved shoulders leaving a slight gap into the square corners of neck pocket. Fender licensed tele necks probably fit perfectly. My SX Hawk bodies took allparts necks, with some irregularity, but not much...off centered SX neck bolts was an issue on one, and maybe one needed slight shim in pocket as SX neck was 1mm thicker from back to top of FB. Could adjust bridge heights fine on one, but another needed shims.
The Taurus-2 I think now uses a wilkinson compensating 3 brass barrel bridge, and required a thin washer shim at each of the 2 neck bolts closest to bridge. You can see the crack from the slant. I think I ran the barrel heights into the plate, and I still needed to get lower action, hence the shimmed slant.
I think the Thinline still uses original bridge, and needed no shim washers in neck pocket to achieve desired action.
