Necks are available in various profiles, a comfortable 63 ‘C ‘shape being My favourite, a soft fifties ‘V’ and a larger feeling ‘Texas Blues’ are both very popular.
Fingerboards are cut to a standard compound 7-1/4" to 9-1/2" radius. I find this to be a perfect combination between a vintage and modern feeling radius, giving you the ease of chording in the lower registers and the ability to bend notes on the higher frets without buzzing or choking out. This is the radius ordered by the majority of my customers.
The 7-1/4" to 9-1/2" and 10" to 12" are my most popular choices, these are also available in a straight radius, other fingerboard sizes are available, feel free to contact me for details.
Rosewood fingerboards are oiled to a high lustre with my own custom blend of linseed, lemon and natural oils.
Nut width is purely preference. Choose from the vintage feeling 1.650", or the modern 1-11/16".
Dots and inlays are usually 60's style Callaham ‘real’ Clay dots or Black 50's style Delrin.
