Hi
I got this Warmoth Tele neck in standard thin profile I bought from the Showcase over a year ago. It has 10 - 16" compund radius.
The back of the neck taper on it feels a little bit odd. It starts fairly thick and tapers down to very thin at the 12th fret. When the neck is straight in the middle it has a little relief from about 9th - 15th fret. I think it´s because the neck is a lot weaker in that area then at the nut.
Also the neck is very "flexable". then I mean I can almost use it as a wammy bar and dive bomb by bending the neck in both directions, again I think that is because it is so thin at the higher frets.
Is it normal for the standard thin necks to taper like this or did I get a bad one?
