does anyone have dimensions on the higher end neck through randy rhoads guitars? I have templates coming so i have the body shape just need to know body thinckness and neck thickness at the 1st, 12th, and last fret before it connects to the body.

All help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not positive on body thickness but I think they are about 1-3/4" thick. Hopefully someone else can answer that better.

Which neck do you want? Some have a .790" 3rd fret and .850" 12th fret. The RR3 is .745" 1st fret and .810" 12th fret. The RX10 has a .775" 1st and .880" 12th. And that is based only on what they have listed on their site now. I know there were other profiles in the past as well.

Yes, but is that compensating for the bevels? I thought for sure they were 1 3/4" too, because for a trem they use, It needs to be that thick.

Like I said, not positive on the thickness. An 1/8" difference on the thickness you won't really feel, but could cause trem issues.

NO NO NO

Im sorry Ihocky, I meant to quote Narcs post, not yours. Yours is correct. Sorry for the confusion.

now when they take those figures does that include the thickness of the fretboard? or is that just the thickness of the maple on the neck at that point?

also which truss rod should i use? i usually use the stew mac hod rod truss rod, but i wanna super thin neck like the jacksons have and i think the stew mac rod requires a to deep of a route which wont allow me to have the neck super thin.

The StewMac HotRod gets a little too close for my liking. LMII offers a twoway trussrod that uses a shallower channel, I like those.

The measurement includes the fretboard.

thats good news, i right after asked the question i looking on LMI and found the two way that only requires a 3/8 deep channel, will be using that one.

would you guys happen to know generally how thick the fretboard is by its self?

Generally around 1/4", maybe 3/16". But don't base your neck off that figure. If you run into sanding troubles and your fretboard ends up thinner, you'll need to compensate on the back of the neck to get the profile you want.
