So i recently grabbed a silvertone 63 super cheap a month ago and loved it but the neck is borked beyond belief and to fix it was way too expensive so i ended up selling it but i loved the guitar that maybe down the track id have a go at building a solid body version and changing a few bits and bobs on it (Different bridge, Tv Jones). I dont wanna have a go at building a neck from scratch quite yet so maybe using a commercial neck such as a tele from all parts or something with the body.
So what i want to know is while i have the guitar what should i note down in terms of measurements to help me down the track. I took a trace of the body and pickguard so far, It has a super long and thin heel compared to a tele pocket
