Fender Precision "A Neck", "B Neck", "C Neck" specifics

[Arranger]

I'm not able to find through search what the A, B and C neck dimensions are. It's pretty tough to expect anything from putting the letter "A" or such into a search engine. Usually, it's too few characters.

So, I'm really curious what the complete specs would be for these three styles. Would someone please elaborate? Thanks

A-1 1/2 in.
B- 1 5/8 in.
C- 1 3/4 in.

Pretty sure thats the standards for those , please correct me if i am wrong .

Awesome. I was backwards on this one. I thought the "A" was the old original at 1.75"

Would Jazz necks be qualified the same as the Precisions?

When someone says "C" shape, do they pretty much mean "C" width?

Thank you thank you thank you...

A necks were 1.5 and they sold P basses in the 70s with a A neck which would be called "jazz width" by some, i wasn't alive back then so i dont know if it cost more to have a P bass with a A neck added or not , but essentially it gave players an option, nowadays a american standard has one nut width thats it.

Nope , the old original 1.75 was C width.

I know they had a D width to but i dont think it was ever in production on basses and was limited to acoustics and a few electrics like SRV's strat.

When someone says C shape i believe there referring to the shape of the neck , like old V necks strats had a neck that on the back was V shaped , claptons blackie has a V shape neck so its not the width but the shape of the back .



Of course I dont claim to be a fender expert
