  • Comprehensive neck profile info?

    Ok, I can go to Warmoth and view graphic examples of their various shapes, but Fender necks have been traditionally labelled as "C", "V", "U", etc etc, and USA Custom Guitars lists them as "Slow Hand", "The '54", and "The '63". Where can I find the info that relates "standard thin" or "The '54" backshapes to the lettered backshapes and back to Warmoth's graphical representations?
    I know the "Slow Hand" is the Clapton, the "EB" is the same as the Wolfgang, and the Boat/Fatback are self explanatory, but which one is a "C", "V", and "U"?
    And which one would I typically find on a San Dimas Pointyhead Charvel or a Jackson?

    Somebody mentioned how the Warmoth Standard Thin profile is the closest Warmoth profile to the SD profile. I wouldn't know. If not, try the Wizard profile, although that name is modelled after another obvious famous neck profile... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

      So what's the Standard Thin's lettered counterpart? C? V?
      I'm working up a quote form for a USACG neck and they don't use either warmoth's or fender's neck designations.
      They have Boat, Fatback, EB (Ernie Ball -> Wolfgang), Texas Blues (SRV), Texas Blues Brother (Jimmie Vaughan), Slow Hand (Clapton), The 54, and The 63.

          the standard thin is almost identical to jacksons if you get it with a 1 11/16 nut. warmoths are awsome.

            yeah but not all jackson necks are the same "depth" ie. the distance between your thumb and fingers when you play......
