ELXVintagefade Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 1) How thick should I make my neck at the bottom where it bolts on the body? 2) Also How wide should the fret board be at the top and bottom? 3) At which point on a 24 fret fretboard should it stay the same width? 4) What is a good headstock thickness? Also if it matters for the neck width my neck plate is 50 mm wide. Thank you in advance and I need the info by 3:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 1. 2cm or around 3/4" for a standard strat depth (neck minus fretboard) plus the fretbord 2. Depends on your particular neck but average measurments are 1-5/8" to 43mm at the nut for a 6 string and 2-1/4" at the other end for a 24 fret neck 3. None they tapper all the way, ok ok last 4-1/4" for the neck pocket before people get upset . 4. 1/2" or around 14mm works for me It's before 3:30 somewhere so what did I win?
