Hi Chuck, I would be pretty confident that a ST-1 maple neck should fit in the JM-1 neck pocket as the heels are both rounded.
a TL neck is squarer and would need re-shaping. The scale length should be the same 25.5 inches.
Flick an email to Adam and I would say he should be able to do a JM-1 kit with a maple neck

Cheers guys, and that build from Zeromick is somewhat similar to what I'm looking at - with a bit of a twist!

Hi Chuck, just sent you an email o this.
For everyone else:
I just checked an ST-1 Neck in a JM-1 body and it does indeed match.
I couldn’t actually insert it without forcing, but that is consistent with the factory making the heels slightly oversized so there is no more ‘loose neck syndrome’. Will only need a quick sand on the sides to get it to sit snugly.
Cheers,
Adam
