I received my Warmoth SRV neck and I measured the contouring with a very precise digital measuring tool. And it came to 0.810 at the first fret and 0.920 at the 12 fret. The website says the measurements are 0.835 and 0.970. I am returning the neck because they messed up my order but now I am rethinking the SRV contouring because I was surprised by how asymmetrical it was.
The next closest thing for me is the 59 round back. My concern is that when I receive the 59 round back it will match the measurements on the website: 1st Fret .860" 12th Fret - .970". Which I believe might be too thick. What I am hoping is that all Warmoth necks are actually thinner than stated on the website. The thickest contour on one of my guitars is 0.845 at the 1st fret and thats about as thick as I want to go.
What would be ideal is if someone owns a 59 Roundback and can confirm the actual contouring measurements.
On a side note, why does Warmoth offer so little options on contouring? Everyones hand is so different that it would be nice to be given more of an option.
Also how V-shape is the Clapton Warmoth? Because I played the Fender Clapton and it is very V-shaped. But I own the Fender SRV and the Warmoth SRV is not even close. The fender one is thicker, oval, and symmetrical.
