The body is a hardtail, so you will need a drill press to get the through string holes looking half decent. I've done it with one of those ones you clamp a DIY normal drill into. The Guitar build bodies have those holes drilled fairly deep IIRC to make the job easier and the neck screw holes are usually drilled virtually through so no problems with them.
Allparts necks are to Fender heel specs, so they should fit just fine in any body with a Fender spec pocket.
Just dry fit before finishing and allow for finish on the neck - if it's a particularly tight dry fit you might want to shave the sides of the neck heel or pocket slightly before finishing.
(BTW if you do decide to but the SMO-FAT, get it on my website and you get free shipping in the UK)
EDIT - Allparts necks have vintage spec 0.340" tuner holes so you will need tuner with 8.8mm bush for a tight push fit.
Gotoh and Kluson vintage style tuners come with that size bushes.
I reckon I will get the neck from @gavin_axecaster then.
Just checked on ebay and you are right @fx_munkee, they have got hardtail ash body's in, just a question of which one now....
Ill create a new build thread once I get going. Just need the bridge to come and I need to finally decide what colour etc. Thinking of a Mary Kaye / Hitmaker type vibe.
