More Necks

I’ve posted an update to my Neck and Neck article, which now includes comparisons of the Epiphone Riviera P93, Sharaton II, Dot Studio and Casino, Les Paul 100 and SG G-400.

In summary, the necks of the Sheraton II, Dot Studio, Casino and Riviera P93 are all basically the same: 24 3/4” scale, 12” radius, 15/16” thickness at 12th fret, 1 11/16” width at nut, 2 1/16” width at 12th fret.  There are small variations between the guitars, generally less than 1/32”.  I guess different binding styles and materials account for the neck width differences.

The SG and Les Paul have slightly thinner necks (about 13/16” thickness at 12th fret), but are the same in every other dimension (width, scale, radius).

I must’ve looked pretty funny in the corner of Best Buy, pulling down guitars from the wall and measuring them with my calipers and radius cards.
