Claptonfreak Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'm building a 56 strat and I want to get all the dimensions perfect on this one. I was going to order some 1" thick flamed maple for the neck, but I believe that's how thick the neck is supposed to be, right? If it's supposed 1" thick maple then after plaining the wood it would be too thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 is it 1" rough then, if so it will be too thin for a 1-piece neck but you could take it down to 3/4" and add a fretboard for the year it should be 1-piece and it probably shouldnt be too flamed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claptonfreak Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I found some dimensions and the width is 1" plained on almost all. So I will just buy 5/4 from my hardwood dealer. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
