2.19" seems like a lot. This forum post has a few measurements that are a little less then that.

thanks.

by width, I meant the neck at the butt end... alternatively - the width of the neck pocket at it's widest

no big deal - I just seem to be going through a vague phase.

I'm curious as to the length of the fret board from inside of nut to center of the butt

about 28.75" from nut to butt, and about 36" from top to bottom

my bad. I meant from inside the nut to the end of the heel of the neck - the butt end of the fret board.

width - a strat would be around 2.19 ...

thanks for the sound clips.

I'm curious as to the length of the fret board from inside of nut to center of the butt

also the width of the butt at it's widest point? same as a strat? about 2 & 3/16ths?

really? im pretty sure the cups will have a solid bottom so this wouldn't work, unless i'm missing something here

nope, my bad - I immediately jumped to threaded studs.

heat and pliers - pliers or channel locks without teeth - and / or regular pliers with something (rubber, cloth or leather) to ...

if you drop something in the hole and screw in the stud or same threaded bolt, the stud/bolt will pull the bushing up as you slowly screw it in. A little heat from a soldering iron may help.

that'd be FreddyG... just a great guy with a lot of good vids.

If you're a Rush fan, he's got a thread or two at mlp forums where he's recreating hentor sportcasters.

there's also a very good refretting tutorial thread he posted there - stickied in the luthier's corner section.

confirmation on the length of a 58 Duo neck

not much new other than the table on last page - bodies and necks

unless you have a Roadhouse, Big Apple or Lonestar Strat with the non standard 22 fret 25.5 scale neck, the only thing the so called conversion necks might work with (without moving the ...

they don't hold up, though. google it for the complaints.

it'll give you an idea of what it could be if all the measurements were accurate.

I measure from the 1" line and then subtract 1 from the measurement to account for the inaccuracy of the hook.
I do the same occasionally... and no, I won't tell you how often I forget to subtract.


ok, here's the convoluted explanation for the two different lengths:

"conversion neck" - but ...

I probably measured with an inaccurate device

Welcome to the cause, comrade.

I posted this elsewhere the other day... tape measures drive me nuts. That hook at the end can have it be off a little... just enough to mess up trim work.

in absence of a good quality (expensive) ruler, I cut up a ...

Damn them fractions!!!
I've been using them all my life and I still have to check and re-check to see what tick mark is what. It's always a bit of a zeroing in process instead of straight to it. It's quirky, but we're stubborn.

the jagmaster was the first 24 "conversion" neck (I think), so there ...

just now noticed AddamInsane edited his post to add a 21 fret jagmaster @ 17 & 3/8

so apparently they changed over time... it's a puzzle.

My jag master conversion neck measures 17 1/4" from inner nut to farthest part of butt.

excellent... thanks for taking the time.

might be able to get a work in progress pdf posted by the weekend... 20 pages so far.

if nothing else, it could be fun just to roll through the pages real fast :whee!:

24 scale jagmasterII 21 fret "conversion" neck - rosewood

optical illusion? or does the cv duo look longer from the last fret to butt?

the cv duo is 17 - 3/8

ok... so much for the idea that Leo used the the same spacers on the early 22.5" necks.

thanks for the confirmation.

I saw those... fun. I was tempted.

take lots of pics as you go.

How many of these are confirmed to be accurate?

heh... maybe I'll go through a few of them when I get a chance.

1 - it'd help if you could pull it in cad to have a look at some of the measurements before hand

2 - and then there's the printing. If you want accuracy, the page has to have some ...
