So, I've got a really good relic'd Jazz but I'm not happy withe the profile; it's not period correct. Finally gonna re-shape it but then thought about a soft-V Jazz neck. Some of the '50s P-basses had both soft and hard V but on a Jazz? Any ideas before I get the scrapers out??

Yeh, I know, William. I was just toying with the idea of a soft-v on this fella. It's a really good non Fender stacker Jazz but the neck profile is a bit too 'C' for me so if I was gonna take it back to vintage profile I was thinking about shaping a soft-v just for the hell of it.

So, yesterday saw the spokeshave and scrapers coming out, along with the sander and sanding blocks. But as I got into the shaping I sh*t it, and just went for the same profile on my VJ reissues. Light stain mixed in with tung oil and 50% solution white spirit. Two coats and she's up in the loft to dry for a day or so before othe coats go on.

Neither is a soft V.

That's why I sh*t it. It would not have worked. Anyway, she's up in the loft letting the tung oil coats harden. Didn't see the point of going nitro on it.

Didn't know that. Sure I've got an artcle on Fender necks from Bass Player lying about somewhere.

I've got 2 Strats with soft-V and a Tele with hard-V. One of the Strats is a Jap 40th Anniv and is my fav guitar neck.
