    Hey guys, I haven't posted on here in a VERY long time, and thought you guys would be the best people to ask. I have an EX50 in Titanium, and I want to know a relatively simple question. I would like to change to a reverse headstock, which would mean buying a new neck etc. Would the M-50 neck do you think? Because it's got the same bolts in the same place and stuff and I suppose it would be nice to NOT have a painted neck too. And yes I know the headstock will be black too! If the M-50 neck won't fit, any idea what will? Thanks in advance! James.

    As long as the screw pattern is drilled in the same location on the EX neck heel vs. the M series, you should be golden. If not, you'll be looking at doweling and redrilling the holes to make it work. Let me tell you, from experience, that swapping a neck that wasn't made for a particular guitar is always trouble in one way or another. Screw holes don't line up, heel widths are off a tad, blah blah blah. I've got a project guitar that I've already had 3 necks on and none of them work to my liking... shit's getting expensive!!

      Lol, thanks, looks like I won't be doing it after all. I just prefer reverse headstocks, that's all. But Lucky13, if I end up doing this down the line, and it works, I'd be happy to sell you the neck, you know it's painted titanium right?

      Thanks

      James.
