Neck Profile

Thin C - 0.79” - 0.89” -

A very popular and comfortable profile, used heavily on modern Fender vintage reissue Strats.

Modern C - 0.83” - 0.92” -

The industry standard. Used on most if not all american standard strats.

Chunky C - 0.90” - 0.90” -

Used on many of the old original Fender Telecasters, and used for many of today's vintage classic reissues.

Extra Chunky C - 0.90” - 0.99” -

Same basic structure as Chunky C but with a little extra meat at the higher frets. Commonly found on very early Telecasters and some, but few early strats from the C - D profile transition.

Fat C - 1.0” - 1.0” -

Our largest C type often referred to as the Baseball bat sometimes found on the earliest of Broadcasters and Nocasters where the extra beef was necessary due to the lack of truss rod.

Les Paul ’59 D - 0.87” - 0.97” - Beautifully shaped faithfully against the fabled 1959 Les Paul Standard.

’59 Thin D - 0.75” - 0.81” -

Our thinnest neck profile found exclusively on late ’59 stratocasters contrasting heavily against the Les Pauls of the day.

-’58 D - 0.85” - 0.93” -

An exceptionally comfortable D profile found on 1958 Fender necks introduced after the famous ’57 V

-61 D - 0.79” - 0.89” -

After the somewhat unsuccessful 1959 very slim D, Fender reintroduced a larger D  profile in early 1961. This was a gradual transition from late 1960-1961.

’54 Fat D - 0.90” - 1.0” -

Our largest D neck, found on vintage stratocaster necks dated 1954 - early 1956

Chunky U - 0.90” - 0.90” -

A similar size to our Chunky C however it has somewhat more defined shoulders.

Mid ’56 large soft V/Boat V - 0.95” - 0.95” -

A chunkier, soft V profile introduced in mid 1956 during the transition between the early '54 & '55 Fat D profiles and the strong V taper of 1957.

’57 V - 0.86” - 0.96” -

An exact replica of the legendary 1957 V. This is a gorgeous neck to play and once you do, you won’t turn back.

V-C - 0.88” - 0.95” -

A unique profile tapering from a soft V to a Modern C. An interesting choice for those wanting a flexible vintage/modern transition.

Eric Clapton V - 0.84” - 0.90” -

Inspired by Clapton’s Blackie, who’s neck was from 1957 bearing the stong V taper. However with neck profiles of the day varying slightly, Blackie’s neck had a particularly strong V (Please note, this is similar but not the same as our custom reshaped 'Blackie' artist line tribute neck).

SRV Asymmetrical D -0.84” - 0.97” - Inspired by SRV’s Number One. From SRV’s extremely extensive use of his Number One, over time he had worn the original ’62 D profile neck down to the asymmetrical shape we offer here, a very comfortable, natural profile.

EVH Asymmetrical D - 0.84” - 0.90” - Inspired by EVH’s custom taper, similar to that of the SRV contour but with a little taken off at the higher registers.
