Neck profile with shoulders

[oreos]

Hi, I've owned a few warmoth necks in the past and I'm looking to get a 24.75 conversion neck that feels somewhat similar to my favorite gibson profile, which is a "50s round". I have this profile on a few low end usa gibsons from around 07-09 including a 2009 LPjr. I ordered some calipers to be sure, but my research indicates that the 59 profile from warmoth and this gibson profile are nearly identical in thickness, but its very difficult to me to gauge the feel from photos. Basically, I want a feel thats a little flat toward the center and has substantial shoulders. The only fender I've ever owned close to this feel was 1977 strat that I believe had a U profile, although it was a lot deeper than the gibson, probably closer to 1" than .850", and more rounded on the back. I'm sure I could flatten with a little sanding, but I can't add shoulders

The fatback has a lot of shoulders

Fatback does have a rounded C shape but is substantially chunkier than a '59. If the measurement and shape of the Warmoth '59 matches what you already are using you should be in pretty safe territory. Knowing that Warmoth provides set dimensions (minus a smidgen for final sanding usually) you sort of have to pick what gets closest to your dream dimensions.

Yeah - if'n you want shoulders, you want the fatback.  Prepare your tendons!
