It depends... it can potentially be a simple bolt on swap... Or, you may need to do some modifications tot he neck or neck pocket of the body... It depends if the neck that you bought is designed for the same depth of neck pocket and width... and also if it's got the same heel shape. Some cheap guitars use strat copy necks with straight heels... while other use the traditional rounded heel that Fender uses... You also have to worry about whether or not the neck matches your string spacing. If the neck is too narrow... the E strings will be too close to the side of the neck... if it's too wide... it may not fit your neck pocket... and there will be a lot of extra space on the outside of the e strings if it somehow does fit your neck pocket... I can almost gaurantee that the holes are not going to match up. Unless the neck and the guitar are made in the exact same factory with the exact same tools and settings... you're going to have to plug the holes on the neck with dowel rod and glue... let it dry... then redrill new holes. I have yet to do a neck replacement that I didn't have to plug the original holes. If you buy a replacement neck from allpars.com it comes with no holes cut at all for this reason. Take a look at these things and see what mods you'll need to do. Hopefully you won't need to do a lot. But, either way it'll be good practice for you.
