This information is based upon the April 1, 2021 USA Option Instruments Dealer Price List.

Guitar and Bass Neck Radius

Substitute neck radius from standard:

7 ½” This is close to the vintage 7 ¼” radius of the ‘50s and ‘60s, and feels virtually the same yet allows guitarists
just a bit more note bending before a note will “choke” or “fret out”.

9 ½” A nice mid-way point between the vintage radius and a modern 12” radius. Standard on most guitar models.

12” Flatter for deep string bends and greater ease when soloing.

NOTE: * Invader models equipped with Original Floyd Rose locking vibrato may only have 12″ radius.

BASS NECK PROFILES

Substitute neck profile from standard:

1 5/8” Medium C - 1 5/8” nut width sits right between the traditional P and J bass widths, and Leo offered this nut width in the ‘80s.
Generous edge roll with a medium depth and taper from 0.820” at 1st fret to 0.940” at 12th fret. These specs were part of the #11 and #12 necks.

1 ½” Medium C - 1 ½” nut width traditional to a J bass, Leo brought it with him to Fender Avenue for the ASAT Bass and SB-2.
1 1/2” nut width, generous edge roll, and medium taper from 0.820” at 1st fret to 0.920” at 12th fret. These specs were part of the #6 and #8 necks.

GUITAR NECK PROFILES
Substitute neck profile from standard:

Modern Classic - 1 11/16” nut width with 1 5/8” string spacing allows a generous edge roll for superb comfort without string fall-off.
Fairly slim with mild taper from 0.820” at 1st fret to 0.870” at the 12th fret.

Slim C - 1 5/8” nut width, slight edge roll, mild taper from 0.820” to 0.870”. These specs were part of the #1a neck.

Classic C - This is the profile most G&L fans associate with the post 2000 era. 1 5/8” nut width, slight edge roll, medium taper from 0.830” to 0.960”.
It starts off fairly slim and gets beefier up the neck. These specs were part of the #1 neck.

Classic Plus C - Just 1/16” wider than the Classic C with added string spacing. A good choice for players with big hands who find 1 5/8” a little too narrow.
1 11/16” nut width, slight edge roll, medium taper from 0.830” to 0.960”. It starts off fairly slim and gets beefier up the neck. These specs were part of the #3 neck.

Classic Wide C - A full 1/8” wider than the Classic C with added string spacing. The extra width is welcome not just for players with big hands,
but those who value more string spacing. 1 3/4” nut width, slight edge roll, medium taper from 0.830” to 0.960”. It starts off fairly slim and gets beefier up the neck.
These specs were part of the #4 neck.

Modern U - 1 5/8” nut width

Soft V - 1 5/8” nut width

Deep V - 1 5/8” nut width


NOTE: * All profiles have a +/- 0.015″ tolerance

This information is based upon the April 1, 2021 USA Option Instruments Dealer Price List.

Quartersawn maple neck
This method of cutting the maple boards results in the endgrain being directed about 45° to 90° from the face of the fingerboard.
This cut results in a more stable neck and is recommended for players who tour as it better withstands substantial changes in temperature and humidity.
