EDIT: after some research, the 59 Roundback is exactly the same as the Jazzmaster American Original's mid 60' C profile, with 1.650 but width and 9.5 radius.
Original post:
Hi! I'm making a Jazzmaster with Warmoth parts and I ordered a standard thin one, but I've been warned by my luthier that it might be thinner than what I'm looking for (mid 60's C shape, according to the specs).
Truth is, I ordered a Warmoth neck 10 years ago through a local "assembler" (more than a luthier) and it does feel thin in comparison to the one I was comfortable with (Billy Corgan's signature Stratocaster modern C shape) but I never knew which neck profile he ordered as he wasn't very transparent with the parts he ordered. I knew it was Warmoth much later when I modified the neck.
I have a few doubts. Hope you can shed some light:
-Is Warmoth's standard thin the same as Fender's modern C shape?
-Could it be that back in 2010, Warmoth's standard thin was thinner than nowadays?
-I seem to be more comfortable with thicker profiles, but the 59 roundback seems a bit too thick in 12th fret. Should I avoid that one?
