So Obviously I have no idea of what the costs would be to the company but.....

Has Warmoth ever considered making little 3" cutoffs of all the different neck profiles they offer as samples?
You could even sell them for like $15 - $20. This would be a great way for builders to be able to get a profile in their hands to see how it feels. No frets, just a generic piece of fretboard thickness wood on top, nothing fancy. I understand this still wouldn't give you a 100% representation of the profile since you really gotta play on the neck to have 100% idea of the feel, but it would absolutely give most a much better idea of what profile would be better suited for them.
 
As the neck tapers and thickens normally which 3" section would be representative?

I can't speak for Warmoth but I have doubts that it would be viable.
 
Don’t see the point unless you are playing only cowboy chords and are always with the same 3 inches.  Not to mention unstrung necks are not a great indicator of how a neck will work playing.  Need to string set the relief and action.

The concept is a non-starter for myself.
