Hello all, I am a screaming newbie here, but many thanks for all the info I am learning while lurking and searching archives.

I am interested in finding a used 12 string, either Elite or Adamas. The Elite 1858 specs show a neck 1 7/8 at the nut, cannot find a width on Adamas' site.

Can anyone enlighten me if Adamas 12 necks are same width? How about relative thickness? Are ME, W598, and 1598 the same neck size?

Thank you

I'm not sure about thickness, but the elite and adamas 12 strings have identical width nuts (1-7/8). Dave

I seem to recall being told by someone on here who would know that all Ovation 12 string necks were 1 7/8" at the nut. I don't know if that included Adamas 12's.

I think that 12 string widths, at the nut, are very consistant. But the size and shape of the neck itself has changed over the years.
