Ridgeback Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Is there a post here that talks about the neck choices on the 150/157? Nut width, radius and thickness?
Thundersteel Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Since Heritage guitars are mostly handmade, you'll find some slight differences in the thickness. However, in my experience, they are somewhere between a "50's" and a "60's" Gibson-style neck. They have a 12" radius, and I believe a nut width of 1-11/16".
Kuz Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 And remember Heritage is a custom shop. Give them your specs and they will make whatever you want!!! 8)
brentrocks Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I dont recall having a Heritage with a "FAT" neck...mostly a good hybrid of a 60s slim and a '59 rounded

Granted 4 were custom ordered with FAT necks, but two were bought from Wolfe. He said they were 50s fatties and sure enough they were. 8)

tulk1 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I ordered my Millie NFH with a "50s" style neck. Marv said he knew just what that meant. Ren gave me the specs they are using, but I don't readily recall the dimensions. He did indicate they were moving to a slightly fatter neck design as the default. Guess that means moving away from the slimmer near-60s profile.
Ridgeback Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 So far, a nut width of 1 5/8, fretboard radius of 10 inches and a medium C neck fit me great. I have small hands, I can learn to play a larger neck, was hoping to be able to get it a bit smaller.
guitarjump Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I like chunky '50's neck. That's the only weak link for me with off the shelf Heritages - necks generally are too slim.
big bob Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 my 575 has a fat neck, the millie is thin, and the stat is on the chunky side.. I like em all.
