Hey y'all, so sorry for all the questions. Which neck profile is the most similar to the fender american pro ii strat? It's slightly thicker than the ultras and players. Thought I was set on the standard thin but it's like God was nudging me to rethink and test again. As a lefty who plays righty, the thin ones were a little too thin even though I have small hands. Also, is the nut width exactly 42mm or is it just like estimated?
 
Nothing's like the Am Pro II neck. I got a wolfgang with a 42mm nut and a 43mm nut, and while they're good necks, they're still nothing like the Am Pro II.
I ended up ordering a Fender Am Pro II replacement neck from the Fender website, and it came perfect right out of the box.

Darn, I hope I can spec one similar, The thickness of that neck with a compound radius would be perfect! Especially with an ebony board!
 
Looking at the measurements, I think I can do either the SRV, wolfgang, or 59. Standard thin isn't too far off either but I don't know, it's not too thin is it? Like I can't play shredder style necks lol

Standard Thin is our most popular neck, and wouldn't call it "shredder thin", but it's all relative to what you like.

59 is for sure fatter than the Am Pro II neck. SRV and Wolfgang are closer, and between those I'd go with the Wolfgang if getting close to the Am Pro II was my goal.

Nut width is inextricably tied to back profile when it comes to how a neck feels. Here, I would choose 1.650".

There will always be slight variations of exact dimensions on any product that is crafted and hand-sanded by real human people, but overall our tolerances are pretty good.

I don't want to sound like a traitor on the Warmoth forum, but I feel like you could get Musikraft to make something similar to an am pro ii neck with an ebony board and compound radius.

I checked them out last week, so confusing to me lol! They're website ain't exactly adhd friendly. You're right though, I more than likely could but warmoth seems like it could be better quality, and although I haven't purchased yet the customer service kinda won me over
