Thanks man. Appreciate that.

Thanks John

Thanks so much Jay!

Yeah. I buy custom guitar made for me with D-shape neck.22.3mm first fret 24mm 12fret. Maybe future slimming down 21-23mm if my hands get tired. I like the shape. Radius is important too mine12".

Thank you Joseph

Thanks Ronnie

Thanks Man!

Actually there is much more than that.

Welcome Man

Thanks Bob

Thanks Rick

Thanks Joey

My pleasure Mark - thanks for watching!

MindTravler there's no rules reallly you just need to play lots of different necks and work out what suits you best. A medium C with 6105 frets is my personal fave. I hope that helps:) Matt

Sorry Mat I don't know anything about those guitars sorry. Hopefully somebody else does. Cheers Matt.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience. Thanks for watching cheers Matt.

Ross MacIntyre for someone who i found on the Internet, claimed he was a perfectionist, charged me nearly the price of a guitar for the work (which two other luthiers and a Guitar manufacturer said was 'excessive') and then refused to fix a blemish he should have found says alot about his 'perfectionism' and ethics. It was also a vintage piece of gear, not something bought from Allens Billy Hyde. And its not like the work was 'guaranteed' either! I will never use this bloke again no matter how 'boss' you think he is. I'm just sharing my experience because this is obviously a 'boutique' forum, the work wasn't bad, the ethics were. I learned my lesson.

You comment on all the videos on the internet mate haha

Fender makes a C-D shaped neck that morphs from C at the headstock to a D shape at the heel. Perfect combo.

Well there's a subject for a whole other video - bass necks. Nice choice! Matt.

The V shape was originally produced by 'shaving off' some of the shoulders on the fatter, traditional U necks. Compared to the U neck, the V did offer some extra access, but eventually, the way that guitar necks were constructed improved to the point where the U shape became a C shape instead, and the thinner wood could support the tension. Once this was done, the V neck largely became obsolete. It's like the Minidisc of guitar necks.

Like Andi. Said. It’s largely a relic of days when guitars didn’t have adjustable truss rods

Hi. Technically yes it is - and it is very thin so the neck shape is closer to a classical guitar shape D than a strat.

I was thinking the same...

I’d recommend a medium C neck with a narrow Nut width. Ernie ball make a lot of these necks and they are a good starting point to try

That is what Im trying to figure out

@@jackrjude Look at the profile and see how it matches up with the picture shown. Also, most companies stick with a profile. It’s not like it depends what kind of day the luthier is having m. .’

Hey there yes I agree the video is meant to be an introduction to neck shapes and not a definitive video on the subject. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Cheers Matt.

He can't describe everything, It's the basics. To me, the Gibson 60's slim taper (D) neck, which seems to be everywhere, sucks. Personally, I like the C.

Yep. I should have. However I was trying to kee it concise and not be confusing, not many players love a U shaped Tele neck. I do. But I can’t play fast!

Hahaha
