Re: What is your girth?
Well that was interesting. The neck I assumed was my smallest, wasn't. Obviously you're not going to get any pencil necks from me.
Korinacaster: 1-117 6-126 12-132
Baja Tele: 1-113 6-122 12-131
G&L Legacy: 1-110 6-120 12-132
Black Benny: 1-112 6-119 12-130
Lowden: 1-114 6-125 12-142
I always thought the Lowden had a small neck.

Some interesting measurements Slowy. What is a Black Benny? Have I seen it? Can you please re-check the middle measurement?
That Lowden sure is erect at the 12th fret

Re: What is your girth?
My Rg550 1st 105mm, 6th 117mm, 12th 126m.
It feels like the thinnest neck I have but it is quite wide. The Axis is a bit narrower so feels a bit chunkier in the hand.

Re: What is your girth?
Not sure about the profile tbh, but my Ash Radian LP is by far the chunkiest neck I've ever had. I have small hands and always got thinner necks to (attempt to) do the thumb-wrapped chords thing. Using this neck now though, it is the most comfortable neck I've ever used. Thumb wrapping is more or less impossible (I can somewhat mute the low E), but the comfort is worth it.
Measurements:
12.3 - 12.7 - 13.0 (revised numbers using paper instead of soft tape measure for consistency)

Re: What is your girth?
That is amazing... that the 'chunkiest' electric so far and beats the current neck I am making. I wonder if Adrian was asked to deliver some chunkiness and some?Michael wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 1:15 pm Not sure about the profile tbh, but my Ash Radian LP is by far the chunkiest neck I've ever had.

Re: What is your girth?
Any more chunky neck measurements? Ultra slim ones?

Re: What is your girth?
I tried to do mine before I left for Hanmer but they seemed way too small, think I must be doing it wrong....

Re: What is your girth?
Oh all right, 120 for the #6 position.

Re: What is your girth?
I tried it with my blue tele (which is the only guitar I have available right now) and I got what I think is an interesting result. For the record, I love fat necks and especially fat, soft V shaped necks.
The guitar has a Warmoth neck on it, 7.25 radius, soft V, one of 3 I ordered with the same profile. I got;
1st: 112, 6th:122, 12th: 129.
In profile the neck is 1 inch thick from nut to heel.
Not the biggest numbers represented by quite a bit!

Re: What is your girth?
Just checked the Father in laws tri-cone resonator and it's, 1st: 125, 6th: 134 and the body meets the neck on the twelfth so it's all heel! It's a big fat C shape and it feels (and sounds) amazing.
