Nic James Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ok before you jump on me about how this is too thin let me explain myself. My plan was to make a neck-thru with the neck (not counting the fretboard) measuring half an inch thick. Normally this would be crazy but I plan to laminate 3 2/3 in. pieces of mahogany with two pieces of 1/8 in. by 1/2 in. between the mahohany running the entire length of the guitar. This would get me the 2 1/4 inches I need for the width of the neck and I think it would be strong enough. Plus a 15/64 in. fretboard it would be about the thickness of a wizard neck. Think this would work guys? Also has anyone used any carbon fiber from Dragonplate.com? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) I've done 1/2" minus fretboard at the first fret, plus a 1/4" fretboard = 3/4" of neck. Edited October 29, 2008 by Geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmth Builder Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Wizard necks are about 1/2" thick so it will probably be fine, especially laminated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 The last bass I finished had a neck thickness of 0.77" including the fretboard - I used CF rods of course. 3-piece laminated rock maple neck, wenge fretboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
