JPSBassist said:I took these measurements with a digital caliper set while taking photos of these instruments. These measurements were made without strings (obviously) in the center of each fret (thickness).
I've provided both current Eur4LX-Classic and USA NS-4H2 measurements.
And for comparison to the USA Neck-Thru I've added the measurements on the smallest USA Neck I've measured to date... my NS-4 Water Cured Redwood model. It has been thinner than every NS-2 I've ever measured.
It's notable that the Euro4LX models I've measured are actually a hair thinner at the 12th fret and the only reason the first fret is thicker is because of the hump of the neck at the headstock, which is a different profile from the USA.
The skinniest, thinest neck I've ever measured on a non-Wimbish/non-Ian Hill model is my Kramer Era NS-2A.
Provided in both mm and inches. This information will be available on the site for all models shortly.

This is great infomation. Thanks!
Do you mean in the center of the fingerboard between the two frets?
How does the neck of a Rebop 5DLX compare to a Euro 5LX?

Resonant, great sustain, perfect electronics, wonderful tone, fantastic build quality and player feel. Fulfills in every respect the dream I've had of playing one -- since I was 14, no less, more decades ago than I'd care to mention. It joins my Stick Enterprises SB8 and my BTB510.

Found an error, this one being a Not Found one for the link to see pictures of the original Rex Brown signature model and it's flame paintjob.
JPSBassist said:Fixed. Thanks.
And I also fixed the issue with the NS-2000B having four knobs instead of two.

I've been rather absent from the forums for a while.
I am trying to buy the Spector Left Chest Logo shirt from the site. It says Free shipping 26-27-28. It keeps telling me the coupon for free shipping is invalid.
It's an item on my Christmas list and my mother is getting enraged at the shipping.![]()
