Ordering Warmoth neck-USA back contour

[bluesmonkey]

Hi guys,

Im ordering a Warmoth neck, need to know the back contour of USA standard and the predecessor series neck, website says 9.5" is that 12th fret too? Also I am putting it on a mexi standard body but I may get a different bridge, nut width should be 1" 11/16?

Thanks

9.5" is referring to the fretboard radius, if I recall correctly Warmoth charges extra for any straight radius except 7.25". For neck profile I think the closest to the Fender C shape is the Warmoth Standard Thin profile. Or could try the Fat profile if you want it a bit beefier.

For nut width, 1"11/16 is the modern width used on American Standards. If you're looking for a more modern feel this is it. Otherwise the vintage nut width is 1"5/8.

thanks mate.

i will be getting this:

Warmoth Direct - Replacement Guitar Necks, Custom Guitar Necks, Guitar Conversion Necks

10 inch near the nut and 16 inch near the bridge. so standard thin is the one I want to be close to American? because I tried some mexican standard strats and the neck is way too thick

Thanks

that's the warmoth compound radius, I've not tried it but some people feel it's great but others think it's too flat on the higher frets. I haven't played one so I can't give an opinion on it though.

Yup if you're looking for the thinner C shape the standard thin should do it for you.
