Also, how does that compare to the FD14 and U681T necks? |

I just sent you a private mail with informations regarding WN slotheads. Sorry for doing like that but i wished to add images on this reply, and didn't understand the right way to do it. It is requested an URL, and i just don't know what it could be ... :) |

FD14, Folklore LX, Premier and U681 have 1-3/4 width neck which is not only slightly narrower but it is also quite a lot thinner front to back.

Location: Phoenix AZ | You have to consider the profile and depth of the neck as well as the width. The depth (front to back) is a bigger factor for me than the width. The FD14 is the best neck I ever played. It's a C shape and very shallow. It happens to be 1-3/4 at the nut, but I think it's the depth and
shape that make it feel so "right" to be. This same shape and dimensions was copied on my A2 slothead. Dave |
