what neck size should I order

[pedroims]

Well , I am ready to order my first G&L , I am going to order a L2000 , but since I am new in this kind of business I have not idea about almost anything, this is my question and I really need your help, I have small hands so I need a thin neck, Do you any of you know which is the thinnest neck I can order from G&L? I know that they have some necks sizes but I just do not what the numbers means. I really appreciate your help.

Number 8 neck for most, number 6 if you want a really old school highly curved fretboard. I have an 8 on my L2000 and it's the best neck I've ever touched.

I agree with lug. The #8 is probably the choice for you.

The two options with the narrow width are the #8 and the #6. The #8 has a 12" radius and the #6 has a 7.5" radius. In case you are not familiar with the term, radius determines the relative curvature of the playing surface. Without a more involved explanation(available on many websites), the larger the radius, the "flatter" the playing surface will be.

Thanks for the explanation ! Hopefully I can place the order tomorrow then I just need to wait 16 weeks

I agree with lug and Jimtoonz. The #8 is the most likely fit. I have pretty small hands, and really like the #8 necks on my L-1500 and SB-2.
