Most of mine are around .6 to .8 inches thick. 1" is a little on the thick side for me. Most of my fretboards finish out at around .2 inches or so. If you are using a truss rod, you have to allow for that thickness plus some. My last 6 string finishes out at overall around 0.9 inches. Hope this helps..
Hi, I am researching info because I am building my first 6 string cbg from scratch. I have build 3 string and recently a 4 string, anyway- - my question, is what should my neck thickness be when I am finished. I am modeling most of my specs with fender telecaster or strat, but cannot seem to find exactly my ansdwer to thickness of neck. Right now, I am at 3/4" thick, but that is before I put the 1/4" fretboard on. This will give me 1" total. Thoughts? Thanks for your feedback. I enjoyed seeing what you have done- really good stuff- - Lonman
