Question about 2016 MIJ Jazzmaster neck radius

Post by tonebrax » Sat Jan 27, 2024 9:12 pm

Hey guys! First time poster, looong time lurker. Y'all have helped me out so much without even knowing it.

I'm looking to replace the 9.5 neck on my 2017 CP JM with a 7.5 radius neck. I've been on the lookout for a while, and came across one that looks like it's from a Japanese 2016 Classic 60s Jazzmaster -- I'm inferring this since the serial reads "JD16" (8 digits total) and because there's a stamp that says "C60JM". Unfortunately, the seller hasn't posted any info about it, and the details above were gleamed from the photos.

From the specs on other sold listings, it seems like Japanese JMs from around this time with the "Classic 60s" or "Exclusive Classic 60s" name have 7.25 radiuses. But wanted to ask here just to double check.

What do you all think -- should I assume the neck is 7.25? Is there anything I should be worried about in swapping? Thanks!

Yes those should be 7.25", but you might be able to verify through Fender's serial lookup by entering the serial number and then clicking the model number:
