Members Faldoe Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 What is the stock type neck that comes with a JM? Someone is selling on with a strat neck...Are they the same, what are the differences?? **** I Just realized after posting that this in the effects, sorry. But that should work out since there are some JM fans in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SonicVI Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 well, Strats can come with different neck shapes, but more or less they are the same as Strat necks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HeartfeltDawn Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 My 2006 CIJ Jazzmaster had a 7.25" radius neck. I think it's was a 21 fret affair. I sold the neck on as I hate 7.25" radius necks. I've got a Strat neck with a 9.5" radius in there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saturnine10 Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yea, i think JM necks are generally smaller than other fender necks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hangwire Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 where do you measure radius of necks? I find the necks on a strat and JM to be more similiar then the ~2" difference listed above... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faldoe Posted April 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yea, i think JM necks are generally smaller than other fender necks.. Yeah. When I tried out a 03' JM some guy had I really liked the neck, felt better, smaller - from string to string, than other necks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine looking down the neck from the nut to the neck pickup. You'll see the fretboard isn't flat. A 7.25" radius neck will look more curved than a 12" radius neck.

Members HeartfeltDawn Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yeah. When I tried out a 03' JM some guy had I really liked the neck, felt better, smaller - from string to string, than other necksI'm actually so obsessive with necks, I've got measurements of almost every guitar I've owned in my lifetime. It's helped me build up what I like and don't like. Of all the Fenders I've played, the CIJ Jazzmaster neck was the widest out of some eight instruments ranging a Silver Series Squier Tele, CIJ Jag, several Strats and a Fender Cyclone II. The smaller string spacing you describe sounds like the nut was cut pretty tight in terms of string spacing. Personally I like the nut as wide as possible because my fingers are kinda short and stubby. I pretty much can't play a Strat with a 7.25" radius neck and a 1 5/8th nut. As for Rickenbackers.. eek! I tried, I tried! Too cramped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faldoe Posted April 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yeah ricks are too small. Maybe my description of the neck wasn't good. I have big hands, my fingers could move around good on the the neck, no trouble with hitting more than one note at a time.... The Jazzmaster I'm looking at is a 1965 body with the original electronics and he says it has a "warmoth strat neck" Any thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mueller Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 warmoth makes really nice stuff, but you'll have to ask the seller for the specs..it could be any radius/contour/fretsize/etc he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faldoe Posted April 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 He says he got it as is - I just emailed him about the neck specs, not sure if he knows. No pics yet, he replied to a ad I put on craigslist looking for a jazzmaster. He will send pics later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
