I'm about ready to order a Warmoth neck for my paisley strat, and want to know about the larger neck profiles. Just how fat are the boat and fatback profiles? -say, in comparison to a 62ri strat's C profile.

Re: Warmoth Strat Necks: profiles
I can't say for sure because I've never played the fatback or the boat, but I have tried the c and the wolfgang. Have you considered the wolfgang? It's the best feeling profile I've ever tried. It's a little bigger than the c. It's the only neck I play anymore.

Re: Warmoth Strat Necks: profiles
I would recommend avoiding those two profiles unless you like your necks super chunky. I have a Warmoth with the SRV profile, as well as a Peavey Wolfgang. I would recommend those two profiles if you want something that's thick but not baseball bat thick. The '59 roundback might be another choice if you want something along the lines of a 50's style Les Paul neck.

I'm a big fan of the wolfgang neck, though I'd prefer it a tad fatter, which would mean shaving down a larger size...

Are we talking 50s gibson or early Jeff Beck sig strat fat, or a bit thinner?

Re: Warmoth Strat Necks: profiles
both of the guitars in my avatar have the boatneck. I love the profile, slight V-very chunky, very comfortable to play.
I am parting out the strat, cause I just dont play it much. If you are interested, email me-it has the vintage tint, birdseye, rosewood fingerboard, MOP dots, medium jumbo frets.

Re: Warmoth Strat Necks: profiles
I agree the Wolfgang shape is very cool. What sold me on going with USA Customs for my strat neck, however, was that they offered one of my very favorite backshapes. They call it "The '54", and it's a .850" Soft V going to a C with a .090"+ taper. They don't upcharge for any of their listed backshapes either. Here's a link to their back contours page.

Thanks, but I'm after one piece maple. Shame, 'cause it's almost exactly what I want...
