Re: how thin is warmoth's "standard thin"?

Hmm. See I always liked the style and availability of warmoth's bodies and preferred USACG necks. If they work together well my problems might be solved.

The question is will it work AS well as a warmoth/warmoth combination. For a tighter fit and such?

Better order the Warmoth body first, I've heard a lot of people complaining about sloppy over-sized pockets on Warmoth stuff.

Once you know what size it is give Tommy a call and he'll make you a smoking neck that would blow away Warmoth in any aspect you could think of. I personally like "The 63" neck profile USACG offers the most, Warmoth "standard thin" always felt & sounded like Carvin thin @$$ necks to me YUCK

Does USACG offer an SRV type shape?

Hi.
Someone mentioned the Fatback profile earlier, and said it's like a 50's Les Paul style. Would that be 50's as in production Standards with the fat 50's neck option, or 50's like the Historic neck sizes which are bigger than the USA models?

Thanks!

I believe the '59 Roundback profile is the one that's closest in shape to a 50's style LP neck. The Boatneck and Fatback have no taper to them.

I have fairly small hands, and the neck on the EBMM silhouettes are the best necks EVER for me. ould y'all say that the thickness on those is somewhat comparable to the Warmoth Std. Thin?

Re: how thin is warmoth's "standard thin"?

nope ..
if Silhouettes are similar to my Albert Lee, then they're kind of a rounded C shape, similar to some old vintage Fenders, but not quite as big

the Warmoth standard thin has shoulders, and the back of the neck is shallower in proportion

I've found that I prefer the meat of the neck on the back, rather than the shoulders - whether it's a rounded C, a soft V, or something else ...
I like 'em about .840" at the first fret

I do have a standard thin that's fairly comfortable, but it's a bit small, and doesn't give me a lot to hang on to

That's one minor complaint I have about Warmoth, 90% of the necks in their showcase are standard thin necks with 1 5/8 nut widths. I know everyone is different, but I think most of us would agree that our favorite necks are at least medium in thickness. I bet they'd sell more necks from the showcase if they offered more of them with thicker profiles and 1 11/16 nut widths.

and without that goddamned compound radius.

Haha, sorry buddy, I think you're in the minority on that one, it seems to be a very popular feature. Although I do think they should offer straight radius necks at no extra cost.

I really don't notice any major difference when I'm playing. You'd think it would be a huge difference having a compound radius with a spread of six inches, but it's not, at least not for me. I'd like to see them offer additional compound radiuses though, like maybe 11-14, 9.5-12, or 7.25-9.5 for the vintage crowd. This is one area where USACG has an advantage, they will do any straight radius and several compound radiuses at no extra cost. They will also do custom compound radiuses if you're willing to pay an upcharge for it.

Re: how thin is warmoth's "standard thin"?

The Wolfgang and SRV shapes are both great, they are my two favorite neck profiles of all-time. They are both about the same in terms of thickness and taper, and both are slightly asymmetrical. You can't really go wrong with either, they are moderately thick without being baseball bat thick. I think you'd probably find the standard shape to be too thin.

The Wolfgang is the only "thick" neck I like. Maybe I am a wimp. :blackeye: Very comfortable.
