Great video, as always. Btw, the metric nut width measurements (in order of smallest to largest) are as follows: 41.275 mm (1 5/8") (I think of this as "41") 41.91 mm (1.650") (I think of this as "42") 42.8625 mm (1 11/16") (I think of this as "43") 44.45 mm (1 3/4") (I think of this as "45") 47.625 mm (1 7/8") (I think of this as "47" even though it is more accurately “48”.) I'm not surprised you couldn't remember: they don't translate very well in either direction. Keep up the good work!

I feel like these are not ANSI/AMSE correct, though. You're only supposed to go to the decimal point to which you can hold a tolerance, which is to say just doing the math is technically incorrect. Four decimal places (millimeter, at that) of precision on a guitar nut seems pretty implausible. I also have to wonder if the drawings that the Warmouth shop is working to aren't actually in decimal inches. I know the places I've worked no one would want to see that "11/16ths" shit. I can only think of one time (a tube frame builder for motorcycles that I was working with) that asked me to convert drawings into fractions for him.

Hi! Well done! Just to say you don't need that kind of precision on millimeters so: 41.275 = 41 41.91 = 42 42.8625 = 43 44.45 = 45 47.625 = 48 Very easy to remember this way.

I have purchased 5 Warmoth necks in the past 20 years, and you you guys have made it very difficult for me to buy a guitar. Most guitars feel poor by comparison. Recently, I tried a custom guitar made by a nationally recognized luthier with a price tag of $2700, and was pleased to discover that my partscasters equaled or exceeded it for playability. My favorite profiles are the standard thin and SRV, and thank you for introducing me to canary wood it has a wonderful feel unfinished.

@@Harambe_ This. A lot of U.S. engineering just uses decimal inch. For the same amount of decimal places it's more precise than a meter (as a meter is longer) and less precise than a millimeter (as a millimeter is shorter). It's all arbitrary as you can add more decimal places. In any system, it's only as accurate as your manufacturing capabilities and your verification equipment.

Any system of measurement is only as precise as the person using it. The imperial system is "more precise" in my mind, because it's what I've used all my life and I understand it perfectly. I know exactly what 1.6875 is without even thinking about it. I still sometimes have to go to Google to remind myself what 43mm is in inches. If the rest of the world used imperial and the US used metric, the arguments would almost invariably be flipped.

I’m Canadian. In my job I have to know both. Always converting. No big deal. Both systems of measurement are sexy in their own way. Weird I know. 4 thou of an inch = 0.1 mm....I can go on. For neck relief my good set of Hosco gauges are metric. Humans, including the Americans learn what they need to get what they want. When you want your guitar to be “just right” you become pragmatic.

It reminds me alot of an old roadstar II neck I had years ago , with the added benefits of higher frets and better string spacing at the nut. BTW I was 5 yrs old during the bicentennial, and remember how great that time was .

I used to work in biotech, and toxicology, and everything is metric in science, so learning it is a requirement. I worked my way up from running CNC machines to running the entire CNC machine shop, so decimal inch is second nature, and fractions are just automatically converted to decimal inch. It's easy once you're used to it.

Guitar necks are the most difficult to personalize. There are so many options to think about and all influence the feel of the neck and how it will play. Here’s a list I came up with in my latest guitar journey quest: 1. Scale length. Super important! 2. Neck width 3. Neck thickness 4. Neck shape profile 5. Fret sizes 6. Fret material 7. Fretboard radius 8. Finish and wood choice All these factors have an impact! 15 years ago I had no idea why one guitar played better than the other. Now with Google and KZbin I learned so many things! I bought guitars and sold them and then tried out other guitars. Every guitar I write down all the measurements. By doing so I learn which options suits me best. This is what I discovered thus far: 1. Shorter scale length works best for me. 25.5 and up is too long for me. It is causing me wrist pain 2. That being said shorter scale means also less fret space. That I have to compromise with smaller frets. So I prefer smaller fret size, medium-jumbo 3. Evo gold frets work best for me soundwise and feelwise and also very durable. 4. I prefer satin neck finish because it is smooth to play 5. Walnut neck and maple fretboard 6. Neck not too thick and not too thin. How thick exactly I’m not sure yet because nut width and neck profile also plays a big part! 7. Because I play 7-string the nut width has to be not longer than 1.889/48mm. The Kiesel DC700 I have right now is wider with 48,5 mm/1.91 inch and it makes the neck for me more difficult to play 8. Fretboard radius between 14-20. Still not sure which one exactly becaise other factors play a part too! The only thing left for me is neck profile. I tried several but still not sure which I like the most.

Thanks for that Aaron! I am also a child of the 70s and I did relate to your comments about the time. Once I discovered Warmoth, there was no turning back. All of my F style guitars are Warmoth. I had actual Fenders but they were all paling in comparison with my Warmoth guitars and were moved on. By now I have seven Warmoth guitars (and a few necks) and these are the guitars that I play and gig all of the time because they feel right and they sound right (despite quite a few others in the stable). My favourite neck profile is actually fatback. It sits so good in my hands (and I don't have huge hands) that makes most other guitars feel a bit meh. I am also madly in love with roasted maple necks - so good! I don't want to have laqucer ever again on a neck. I recall one particular time that, I think, is very characteristic of the company that Warmoth is - I am based in Germany and getting exotic woods shipped is a bit of a production. So, I had ordered a neck with a Rosewood fingerboard and had to do all the CITES paperwork. A person from Warmoth got in touch with me to help - she was super helpful and very patient, despite all of my ignorance - that was Sandy Hosfelt. We had a nice E-Mail exchange and it all turned out to be good. But it was only years later that it occurred to me that she is the actual CEO of Warmoth - How cool is that! It definitely made me appreciate he company even more. If I hadn't run out of space at home, I'd have another dozen Warmoth guitars ... but for now, I'll rock my Warmoth guitars during lock down! Thanks for everything - you guys are doing great work and what you put out is second to none!

My dilemma is that I don't want to commit to a replacement neck for my Strat without knowing if I'm going to like the neck profile. This might sound like a crazy solution, but if you were able to offer for a reasonable price a "pick and choose three pack" of plastic neck molds, I would totally purchase that to see which one I like best. I might choose the Standard thin, Clapton and SRV necks for example. Once I can put my hand on it, even a cheap plastic mold and no strings, I think I would know enough to remove the doubt and make a decision. Just a thought.

When you remember the 1-5/8 is 1.625 it makes the 1.650 easier to grasp. I love the 1-3/4 or 1.750 nut width myself, I play a little fingerstyle and occasionally jazz and it’s just easier to navigate through chords. I’ve been wanting to build a mahogany HH Tele for a while and when I actually get ahead money wise I’m going to get the neck and body from Warmoth. It’s great that you can get exactly what you want from them and build up a guitar that is exactly what you want.

I have come to the conclusion that I need to build what fits me & this is not something talked about much, but is extremely important to consider. I played a Buddy Guy signature stat & the soft V that felt perfect in my hand. The offsets now have me intrigued & I want to try one. It makes sense because it's the same shape as your hand. I love my Strat, but want one with a shorter scale length, so I'm hoping to piece something together with Warmoth parts. I love the insight you guys provide. (I wish I knew about hand fatigue from thin necks back in the 80's), I too remember the bicentennial (fun times) & also had to learn metric system as well as inch. I'm all good until it gets below the decimal point & my brain screams for thousandth of an inch rather than microns. Americans own twice as many wrenches, so we have that going.

Thanks for these videos. I'm a (very) small business USA builder, but I find myself using metric measurements. Like you said, it's easier when adding and subtracting, and I find it more accurate when it matters most ( like: .52mm or .02047244" ). I'm still using those "named" imperial measurements (scale length & fret placement), but I have started using mm for the nut and string spacing. Best of all was the profile talk. Add a conical radius (compound) to the fretboard on a wolfgang, and I bet that the cross sections are interesting :)

Yay for the internet for us metric users (NZ) to do conversions, I find imperial soooo hard, I think it is great that you put the metric measurement on the website so everyone else in the world can understand what they are purchasing :-) I really like the 59 round back profile. I don't mind standard thin, the couple I have purchased are quite different to each other, ie, one is a lot flatter and thinner than the other near the heal, which I don't like. But I do love Warmoth products in general. Don't worry, some people are nice and a LOT of people are NOT. Take care and long live Warmoth!

I was unsure about which neck to buy...but with the props to the wolfgang neck...that's what I'm getting. 1-5/8, maple, reverse headstock, wolfgang profile. Boom!! Thanks Aaron

Thanks for this topic Aaron, I'm glad I tuned in for this one! I've never built a guitar from Warmoth, but I've thought about it for a long time. When I'm ready to build one, I'll probably want to start with a simple guitar like a Tele style, since I don't own one. I do however own several Strats, and I know what neck profiles I like and what I don't. My most current Strat is a 2007, with a modern "C" neck, and I don't like that one at all. In my hands, it feels more like a "D" shape than a "C." The shoulders feel somewhat cumbersome and constantly distract me from my playing to where I need to move my wrist, or position my hand to be able to play what I'm trying to do. I guess I'm more comfortable with the vintage neck profiles of my 1964, 1980, and 1983 Strat necks, my favorite being the profile of my 1983 '57 RI Strat, which has a thin, fast soft "V" profile. If I could impose on you for just a minute, could you go a little deeper in your description of the "V" neck please? Is it thinner or deeper compared to a Standard thin? Or, should I order a neck like this without a finish, and take it to my local Luthier, to re-shape it more to my liking? What would you do in this situation? Thanks

I built my Warmoth Nashville Tele in 2016 with in stock parts. I chose gold top swamp ash body and flamed roasted maple neck with Standard Thin profile and 1-11/16" nut width. The neck carve has felt very familiar to me from day one and it's comfortable for all types of playing. Sometimes I feel like it needs more meat to it and I'm definitely gonna try wolfgang profile for my next build.

Hi mate, really enjoying your posts. Very interesting and informative. As an Aussie, I converted to the decimal system in 1966 and the metric system gradually in the seventies. The only thing that didn’t make the transition very well were surfboards and wave size. I still ride a 6’4” and when the surf is 8foot I stay home these days. I am too old for that sh**t.

Thanks Aaron. This video, for me, is a bit of a teaser, but really valuable at the same time. I've been playing "forever" but to this day, couldn't tell you what my preferences are. I know it when I put it in my hand, but can't articulate it. I suppose I can get a good caliper and start measuring everything, but even then not sure I will unlock the secrets of what I prefer. When I am looking for a neck (I've assembled a fair number of s-style partscasters over the years), I usually look for a Fender, Mexican made, rosewood neck, with the 9.5" radius. More often than not, they fit me better than others. No idea how that vague description fits Warmoth's offerings. But I can't say what shape I like (definitely like it on the thinner side - hate the baseball bat necks!), or which frets are best for me. So., "Mexican/rosewood" is my starting point...then it is crap shoot as to what actually shows up if I buy it. With tongue-firmly-in-cheek: can Warmoth please send me about 10-20 sample necks with specs kinda similar to a mexican strat, and then I will know which is which?! I will buy one or two, and send the rest back!
