I'm going to install a 21 Fret Strat Neck with a 70s head, creme Binding and Block Inlays to my Starcaster Body that is made for a 22 fret Neck without overhang. The complete Body will get a new paint and the 2 Tone holes will be filled before.

My question is, should i fill the gap for the 22nd Fret on my Starcaster body with a cnc drilled maple block so the body will fit any 21 fret neck or 22 fret neck with overhang in the future (because the body will be modified anyway) or should i modify the neck and add a 22nd fret (way more work to do)

has anybody did this to a body/neck and will there be pro and cons?

Edit: So it's a question of pro and cons for adding a maple bloc to the body vs pro and cons for adding a 22nd fret to the 21 fret neck. To avoid missunderstandings it's not a question of intonation or scale length, that's been all checked before it' just a question of modify neckpocket vs. modify neck
