Various Ibanez AANJ Neck and Body Fitting



So, you want to assemble your own Ibanez? You want a real Ibanez you can call your own? Easy! All you need to do is to get an AANJ neck with AANJ heel joint body and put them together. Hey if it fits, it should work right?

Fast forward this after you get the parts and then you realized that, the screw holes for the neck doesn't align with the ones in the body or Vice versa? Why is that so, it's all AANJ! Well, for starters, Ibanez has AANJ necks and body being produced by 4 countries through out these years. Namely Japan, China, Indonesia and Korea.

You can ONLY match a neck with a respective made in the same country body if you do not intend to do further modification. My Frankenstein is a good example. It sports a Korean made neck with a Korean made body. No, the screw holes didn't align at all. I had to fill it up and drill in new holes. Yes, it's troublesome. So the next time you decide to build an Ibanez from parts you assembled all over the world, make sure you get parts that are fitting!
