Andreas Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 I just spented some time looking at common neck thicknesses and all I could see is that it should be around 2 cm. The wizard neck that is super thin it is 1.9cm and chunckier necks are 2.1cm. Does this difference of 0.1 cm really affects the playing so much?...To be honest what I would like to do is an assymetrical neck and what I plan is to do a 2 - 2.3 cm neck and then sand it down towards the treble side (like a peavy wolfgang). The problem is that it will be freehand shaping and I hoped if any of you tryied this before can lend me a tip or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Posted July 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Im sorry you are correct I didnt search first about neck thickness and now that I have I found a lot of results that im going throught at the moment. But it was a two part question...Does anyone have a tip or tutorial for an assymetrical neck built?...so far im thinking of doing a slightly thicker neck than stantart warmoth neck and just sand a bit the treble side but this would be a totaly freehand shaping which I really dont like. One other option is to make a sanding block that will have the desired shape of the neckand sand it down to get as perfect shape as possible.

litchfield Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Free handing it is really your only option, due to the taper of the neck. Use a sanding block to help keep thing uniform if need be, but you may get a V is taper. That's my best suggestion, being as I havent done an asymetrcal meck yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
