I'm looking for a neck and was wondering what works with the Knight Warrior body if I can't find an OEM neck?

Would "The Cat" or something similar work? A friend of mine has one with a cracked body. Not sure what he wants to do with it but. . .

I've always wondered (but never taken any of mine apart) if Aria used the std. fender neck pocket dimensions. If so then you could get a very nice Warmouth neck out of their closeout bin. They'll even do stainless frets for $30 dollars extra.

None of the RS second run guitars used standard Fender neck pocket design. All had the smooth joint and employed the accurate bolt on system (tapered neck heel and pocket to insure secure fit).

Ok, but what does that mean? By "RS" I assume you mean an Aira model or am I wrong? "second run?" enlighten me. :-?

Does this narrow things down a tad. :wink: That section is sorely outdated but there is a lot of info in the catalogs.

There's one on Ebay UK at the moment. The logo has been removed but apart from that it looks ok. Seller states that he only ships to the UK but it's worth asking if he'll reconsider.
