Neck Measurements

[Wizard of Wailing]

      I wish neck measurements at the 1st and 12th fret were listed for each neck in the showcase.  I've 3 Clapton necks and 6 standard thins and I can feel the variation between them.  Although it's not huge variations,  it would be nice if I could buy a neck that's closest to my favorites.

I can agree.

It is shown isn't it?

Or is that new? Anyway, it's always shown the type of neck profile, I think? A quick cross reference to

Or do you mean the string to string width?

That is a new display of the profile specs at the listing for the neck, but it's the standard spec for that profile, not an actual measurement of that particular neck. What Wizard of Wailing is saying is that his necks feel as though they have dimensional variation from part to part where the profiles are supposed to be the same.

The hand can sense remarkably small changes, even those that can't be easily quantified without instrumentation. I've never checked the dimensions on my necks as I've never felt a need to, but it wouldn't surprise me to find that there's a few thousandths difference from one part to the next. They need to be sanded after they're milled, and that's never an exact process.
