I have an RG560 w/ a snakeskin finish. Here's a couple of pics:<br>

The neck pocket says "KIT 560". I know the neck is incorrect because the guitar had a 22 fret neck on it when I bought it, leaving an open space where frets 23 and 24 would cover. I sold it and bought the current neck on Ebay. Is it the right style neck or do I need something with the fancier inlays? The neck is labeled RG-550R, but is it the same as the 560?

I think the necks for the 550, 560, and 570 from that time period (with the heel plate), before they went to the AANJ.

Looks like a perfect fit! If I remember correctly, the 560's were only made for one year?

Thanks for the info! Any idea when the snakeskin finish was availble?

Actually, looks like it was in production for more than one year.

No idea on the snakeskin. Did it look like a factory finish when you had the neck off (was the pocket unfinished?). I bet someone here has more info.

Actually, I re-read your original post, and it answered my question.
