With a number of import guitars, American Fender pickguards rarely fit. I had an SX bass that I wanted to change the pickguard on, so I got a Fender P bass guard...forget it...it wasn't even close. It always takes some modification to the pickguard itself. Just my opinion, but if you get into changing the position of the neck (and I agree with the last post..it will affect the scale length)...it isn't worth the effort. Even with my SX LP copy, a Gibson LP pickguard didn't fit.
