neck side view??

Postby gooberman » Wed May 11, 2011 12:01 pm

Does anyone have a PDF of the side view of the neck? Or even a picture of it? I can't make heads or tails with Danny's measurements...especially the neck angle one of 2 degrees. I started to draw it out, drew a line 2 degrees from the neck heel, and when I measured the 1 5/16 from the top line, it was less than an inch away from the heel end??? Weird or what? Anything would help.

Thanks Gari

I just now drew this from memory so don't recall exactly where the 1 3/8 and 1 5/16 inch measurements were taken from along side the original neck when I made the list. The only thing that matters is getting approximately two degree down wards angle so the strings go over the bridge with some up and down adjustment plus the height of the neck so the strings clear the neck pickup with some up and down adjustment. Every measurement does not have to be precise just functional.

Go to the Carvin website, and download their spec sheet for the thru-body neck. It's an excellent CAD drawing, but watch the dimensions...if memory serves, they use a 25" scale length... Good luck!
