Greetings all, first post.
I've been lurking the Warmoth website for some months now.
I have a 2020 Squier Classic Vibe 60's Thinline Tele that I like a lot, but the neck is FAR too narrow at 1.650" at the nut. I have size-large hand span, but slim fingers. My hand cramps up trying to reach the strings because there isn't a lot of meat to take up the space behind the neck.
My 1.8" wide Seagull S6 is lovely...
Ibanez AM53's 1.6875" nut on a gibson scale is also kinda cramped, but I like its thicker neck profile. String spacing at the bridge is a bit narrow, tho.
My notion at the moment is to order a neck for the Tele:
1.75" nut, 59 roundback, roasted maple, warhead. If I love it on the Tele, then either strum and be happy, or develop a plan to build a body around the neck sometime in the future - maybe a hardtail soloist?
Does that sound like a sensible path to neckvana?
Cheers,
-Daizee
