Re: PRS neck specs please
http://www.prsguitars.com/csc/faq.html
We make guitars with both glued-in (not neck through) and bolt-on necks. The models with glued-in necks include the Customs, Standard Satins, Santana MD , all McCarty models including the Hollowbodies and all Dragons and Private Stock models. Bolt-on models include CE Alder, CE 22 and CE 24 and the Swamp Ash Special.
It is important to know that there is no difference in the amount of sustain from either design, as the neck joint is exactly the same, but each has its own characteristic tone and feel.
Our glued-in necks are typically mahogany glued to a mahogany body or mahogany glued to a maple top/mahogany back body.
Our bolt-on necks are made from rock maple with a rosewood or maple fretboard. The dense and more rigid maple neck gives the guitar more of a "live" sound accentuating the highs and midrange alike.
Please keep in mind that all PRS Guitars are the exact same build quality and our bolt-on neck guitars are no exception. They are designed to give a very specific tone. Unlike most bolt-on neck guitars, a PRS gives access to all frets without an intrusive heel joint.
We also make a number of instruments with solid East Indian Rosewood necks or Brazilian Rosewood necks. Guitars fitted with these necks tend to have a loud piano-like tone with rich even harmonics over the entire range.
Current Neck Profiles
The Regular neck is a comfortable neck that is 1/32 narrower and not quite as thick front to back as our Wide Fat neck. It is currently only available on the Custom and Standard 24 Satin.
The Wide Thin neck has a thinner profile front to back than the Wide Fat. This neck is available on many of our 22 and 24 fret models.
The Wide Fat neck only available on 22 fret models, has the same nut width as the Wide Thin neck but has a big comfortable profile, similar to our Regular neck. Because of its strength and longer “heel”, the Wide Fat neck produces warm tones with lots of sustain.
The 513 neck carve is very close to that of the wide fat profile, but the nut width is in between our wide fat and regular at about 1 43/64". A very comfortable neck carve and only available on our 513 models.
The Johnny Hiland neck carve is a variation of a PRS Wide Thin neck, incorporating aspects of a “C” style neck from the 1st fret to the 12th fret”.
