wateroftyne Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hey gang If you have a (preferably early) 70s P, and you have the means to be able to, could you measure the depth of the neck from the back to the the top of the fingerboard at the first fret, please? (Just to clarify - to the top of the board, not the top of the fret.) Also, I'd be interested in the measurement at the 12th fret too. Thanks for your help :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Done by sight with a tape measure, on a 1978 Precision: 1st fret - 21mm 12th fret - 23mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikay Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 My '72 P is the same at the first fret (21mm) but a little deeper at the 12th fret (25mm). Measured using digital calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Measured using digital calipers. [/quote] That's great - thank you. The reason I've asked is that I've measured my '71 for someone (no, I'm not selling it), and when I told them it's 24mm at the 1st and 25mm at the 12th, they mentioned that that's unusually big...
