Chunky neck circumference?


Recommended Posts

Hello

For all my hunting about online I can't seem to find a couple of neck dimensions. I'd ideally like to avoid a train ride to a music shop clutching a measuring stick!

 Can anybody here run a tape measure around a fairly meaty neck at the first fret and tell me a circumference? I'm building something with a Strat sized neck but wanting to build it deep and meaty with a fairly flat D shaped profile. As I only have some oddball instruments about the house I have no real world template to work to.

Any pointers would be most gladly received

you can find all sorts of profiles via google.  I don't know why you'd want the circumference as opposed to w x d dimensions... but you could easily print one out full size and use a tailors' tape to find it.  sold my only boat neck as I'm only into thin girls (hehe), so can't help you there.  hope this helps.
