Best Fender 10/56 style neck?

Fifty9 · February 2018

have you tried a Jimmie Vaughan neck? I've basically built a partsa clapton strat using one. Fantastic necks.

@Fifty9 ;
How does the JV neck it compare to the classic player 50's?

Thanks @Dan - not sure how I missed that. Comes in at around £250 with postage and duty. Maybe I'll just do it.

It's a no brainer! I would too but my preference is for rosewood and they don't ship this to the UK. I could get it shipped to my mate in Florida and get him to bring it with him when we comes home in April

Ah, I'm after a maple neck. Much easier (and better!)

Satin neck & slightly wider.

The one I have is basically a very slightly smaller version of the Clapton neck. A tiny fraction smaller but the feel is the same for me. A very playable neck.

Found this on GAK's website, it shows the fender custom shop profiles:

^ Another cool chart!

I love this stuff.

Frizer · February 2018

I have the USACG Slowhand profile on my strat neck, definitely a soft V, a lot less extreme than all the Warmoth Vs I've tried.

Lebarque · February 2018

I've got a USACG 0.83-0.90 C-shape on my strat. Most comfortable neck ever. Closest on the chart above is the Jag/Jazz C I guess. That's what I'd go for.

Howdy, Stranger!
