Question about KE2 and KV2 necks...

[KE2KV2Rules]

what is the neck radius of a KE2 and a KV2? considering the websites are run by Fender, i would have thought they would specify the neck radius. i'm just asking because i find the necks to be really fast (of course), and thin. just wanted to know for a little trivia's sake. are all USA necks the same radius?

Kv-2 necks are the the thinnest besides the stealth necks ( correct me if i am wrong. The ke-2 necks are the same as a rhoads and teh Soloists i believe.i have a kv0-2 And man dopes it shred

Re: Question about KE2 and KV2 necks...

if I remember correctly, soloists have thicker necks than the both mentioned.

and I'm pretty sure it changed once again.
I have different data in mind than is written on the jackson HP...

here's the new order; Dinkys beeing the thinnest there is, then kellys, KVs and warriors, followed by rhoads and soloists.

That may be true as a general rule for the modern era Jacksons. However, go back a decade or more and it's anyone's guess! Fusions had incredibly thin necks, coupled with the short scale they felt extremely close in. I have a pair of 1989 Dinkys with ultra thin necks. But the modern era Jacksons seem to be consistent with what was mentioned above. The Stealth was not incredibly thin in comparison to the Fusion. You have to keep in mind that one must sample many variations of the same model to honestly make a claim like this. One or two over the years doesn't cut it.

The KV2 has what is called a "speed neck", and it's also got smaller, medium jumbo frets as compared to Jackson's normal, jumbo frets.

Hey Guys,

I'm new here. Just been cruisin' the site for a while, and I need to ask a question.

Whe you guys refer to "thin" do you mean in terms for fretboard thin? (accross the fretboard)?

OR

Neck thinness from front to back?

OR Both?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Question about KE2 and KV2 necks...

i think most agree that the thickness of the neck is the distance from the fretboard to the back of the neck, and 'width' would be, well, the width of the fretboard...

Gotcha!

Thanks for the response.

Re: Question about KE2 and KV2 necks...

And then there's also the radius of the fretboard, which is the amount of curvature across its surface. As well as the backshape of the neck, which is also (partially) affected by it's thickness or depth. (BTW, click on "resources" above and look in the back of the catalog for Jackson's current neck dimensions.)

This thread may be a little confusing, as the terminology applicable to each of these specs seems to be getting used interchangably.

I'm not certain, but I think the RR necks are thicker than the SL necks.

Re: Question about KE2 and KV2 necks...

Hi Guys! - I was just wondering : How much does a KV1 neck differ from the KV2 - speed neck mentioned on the custom quote? I have at the moment KV1 which's neck I'm truly in love with and my custom rhoads will have the speed one? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]
