For scales, The fender is 25-1/2" and the Gibson is 24-3/4". Each uses different types of hardware to hold the strings. All guitar necks contain truss rods, weather set thru or bolt on. The type that I install most are dual rods. The set thru neck is a stronger joint, but you can buy complete bolt on necks very cheaply, they also diminish the sound quality somewhat. Once again it’s up to the clients preferences.
