  • I find that the C-D shape or the amount of shoulder the neck has, makes just as much difference, or more, than the thickness.

    More neck measurements from various guitars.

  • "Large C - 1st Fret = .875" / 12th Fret = .950"
    '59 C - 1st Fret = .790" / 12th Fret = .970""

    Those two really bother me. The 59 C is certainly not correct,  Should be more like .870-.890 on average. The large C, as in 1958 Les Paul generally would be larger that the .875 listed.  The 1960 Les Paul definitely was slimmer.
