Hi!
I'm interested in putting together an FB-1M with a baritone neck in the near future, if that's possible. Does anyone know the neck pocket dimensions of the FB-1M to see if a warmoth baritone neck is viable?
Thanks!

Measured the pocket on the kit I'm building. I'll type out the measurements in case they aren't clear in the pics.
Length of pocket 75mm
Attachment 9471
Width at lower bolt holes 56.52mm
Width at end of body 54.96mm
Need to add 0.6mm as I have glued in veneer to one side to tighten up the fit, so 57.12 and 55.56mm respectively.
Attachment 9472Attachment 9473
Depth at pickup end of pocket 17.35mm
Depth at end of body 18.74mm
Attachment 9474Attachment 9475
And the neck heel itself.
Width at end of heel 56.62mm
Width across upper bolt holes 54.94mm
Attachment 9476Attachment 9477
And the veneer itself 0.6mm as used in the pocket.
Attachment 9478
Also the radius on the corners of the pocket look to be done with a 1/2" router bit.
Hope that helps.

measurements look ok Grant, I presume being a TOM bridge there should be some rake angle on the neck, so the neck should slope back a bit with the 1.4mm difference in neck pocket depth
Yep, TOM bridge Wokks.
Thanks a lot Grant!!!
