Claptonfreak Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I was just wondering about a neck measurment. When they give a measure like .770" at the 1st fret. does that width include the fretboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madawgony Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Width or thickness? That would be one thin (in width) neck!!! j/k I would guess that the poster is asking about profile thickness and used the term width instead. Seriously though, all the measurements that I have seen addressing profile thickness have included the fingerboard. Having said that , 0.77" sounds thin to me. I like a little meatier neck, around 0.85" thick at the first fret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, Fingerboard between 3/16" and 1/4" (.1875-.25") min. 1/8" behind truss (.125") Truss rod (.25-.375"-double acting, depending on model) Bare Min.- .5625"(allied double acting, 3/16" board, 1/8" behind the TR) with more room and thicker parts-.6875" (hot rod, 1/4" freboard, 1/8" behind the TR) bump up the material behind the truss to 3/16", and use wideer parts-.750" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was building a whamola, I might not want to go much wider than 3/4"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
