GuitarMaestro Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hi! Can someone with a Ibanez Universe give me the dimension of the neck? I want to cut the neck with the angled headstock out of ONE piece of maple, because I dont like scarf joints. Therefore I need to know how long the neck is and how thick the neck in total(WITH the angled peghead) is. I need to know how thick a neck blank I have to buy in order to cut out the neck as one piece. Thanks in advance, Marcel Knapp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I don't have the neck, but why don't you just draw it out on paper, you could scale it down if you like. I don't think it's that hard isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Ill have a measure up of mine when I get home - Im in college at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted January 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 @AlexVDL: I cannot do that because I dont know the dimensions of the 7-string peghead. I know that it has 9° angle, but without it's length I cannot determine how thick a blank I need. @Jammy: Thanks....I am looking forward to your measurements.

jammy Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 the headstock is 21cm long, and about 1.5cm thick.... sooo..... 21sin9 = 3.285 then, to be on the safe side add the headstock thickness and a bit - say 2 cm alltogether? So I would go with 5.285 cm (probably 6) thick at least. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullmuzzler Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 How about a template in Corel or CAD? The hadstock is very important (shape). mullmuzzler | OSSMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted January 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Yes I'll surely draw the templates....but I want to order the wood NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullmuzzler Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 As far as the angle of the headstock goes, I think that it is around 13 degrees. mullmuzzler | OSSMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarMaestro Posted January 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hmm....I heard that it is 9°. Can someone confirm that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
