I wonder what the neck feels like?
Big differences in the EJ and EC necks.
I have many different Strat and Strat style necks that I've either purchased or made and IMO it is the most
important part of the guitar to get right. Everything else is pretty easy to change.
Knowing the fretboard woods, neck contours, radius, and specific dimensions at the the 1st and 12 fret is or can be pertinent info for you in helping with your quest. (not to even mention the type of finish)
I do have a '57 Custom Shop that I refretted and changed the radius from 9.6 to 12" that is a soft V so it is very much identical to an EJ. Big feel difference in the contour diff of those two and the soft V is a very cool one to have around to me.
I have a Jeff Beck body on a partscaster...lol...I wouldn't know except his name is stamped on it.
