First build, need advice

[Skelton]

Hello to all you Warmoth veterans. I'm gonna be building my first Warmoth in the near future, but before i go screw up an order i need some advice, mainly on neck contours. I have a small hand, so first i thought about getting a standard thin, but after some research i found alot of people saying that it is extremely thin. Is that true and also what guitar does it compare to?                                                                                    Secondly I'm thinking of getting their compound fretboard, but is it really as comfortable as thet say? Thank you very much in advance :rock-on:

The Wizard profile is extremely thin. As I have heard, the Standard Thin is most like the current run of strat & tele necks.

The standard thin is as the name suggests - thin, it's certainly nowhere a fifties les paul. But as autobat said it is very similar to current fenders.

If I recall correctly, the Standard Thin is in the same ball park as the Jackson necks and the Wizard is like the thinnest Ibanez necks. Some have said the wizard is too thin, but I don't know. For small hands I would say try the Standard Thin with the 1 5/8 nut. Also keep in mind taller frets make a neck feel bigger.

Thank you very much for your answers.

As a side question: Do Warmoth finish necks in solid colors too? Cause the idea is getting it finished with a sating black back and black gloss peghead. Would that be possible and in what price could i expect for such a job?

I predominately use the Clapton contour but I did order a Standard Thin neck on one. Neither is too big or too thin and I use a medium-large golf glove if that helps any.

Playing guitar while wearing a golf glove is just so Huey Lewis & The News 80's yuppie rock. We've moved on through the knit and flannel gloves of the 90's and are now using the old men never die leather biker gloves of the new millennium. I'm still working on my carbon fiber & Kevlar woven battle glove for 2010, it'll be the next big thing.

The Standard Thin is definitely NOT "too thin".  The Wizard is much too thin for my tastes.  If you have played Ibanez guitars with the Wizard (not Wizard 2) neck and like it, then you need a Wizard. If you have played American Standard Fender Stratocasters and like the feel of that neck, you need the Standard Thin.
