So what nut width is desirable for the standard thin? Or the Wolfgang?
Think metric!!! Hahaaaa, I was 18 in 1980 so I remember all of that. Played soccer too, was still mostly unknown then.
Gosh, I like Aaron so much!
Each time I watch Warmoth vids on Youtube I get so glad as if I meet one of my beloved family members or dear friends.
What amazes me is the difference between 41mm and 42mm is only 1mm…divided by 2 cuz its on each side of the neck is .5mm…BUT your hand can FEEL the difference…it’s quite incredible!!!!
You're a very calm soul
I'm glad to see that im not the only one who care about nut width. 😜
Most of mine have an about 43mm nut when i'v tjecked them with a caliper...
But my 2 fav guitars neck i'v got in my arsenal , my B.C. Rich Calibre series Warlock and my older Ibanez RGT42 , has 44mm (1-3/4") Floyd Rose nuts.
I don't know why i love 44mm wide boards cuzz i have small and fat fingers... hehehe 🤣
Do you know why 44mm isent more used?
Love the vids dude...
Grap the pick of your choice (Jazz 3) and KOP 😄

Great info, thanks!
I also enjoyed the Bicentennial year.
I have an appreciation for the Metric System too!
Informative session as usual. This helps me a lot.
I want a neck that has frets with the same height, but with fret width shrinking from 15-22 for intonation.
Another Boise native here! I remember Ustick school. The good ole days...
Imperial is pointless, changemymind.
These videos are great for Warmoth’s marketing. Good to have you Aaron! You always explain the details and inspire confidence in the quality of your products. Please make sure Warmoth continues to focus on quality. Quality is everything when choosing a custom neck. Thanks! 🎉
Excellent. Long live this ninja turtle! Metric system plus guitars = MM mastery like noah's ark and the ark of the covenant, amongst other things built in the ratios that please, i am is well pleased with this. My neck preference is the widest nut @ 48MM for a 6 string, and the fat back like a thick flat shape that looks like a solid rectangle. Also i prefer anything but maple. Such as Bubinga, Ovangkol, mahogany ebony or rosewood as a neck wood with a bright fretboard. However i love high grade bird's eye maple as a fretboard. And maple as a back or top are great as well. Although i would prefer a richer tonewood like myrtle, douglas fir or burled anything even poplar or other as a top and keep a maple back on it. copper brass alloy sheet adds tone to a top or at least an interesting sound in the highs. oh well thats all. Body cores that sound great are Poplar, Redwood, Cedar, Red spruce, Swamp Ash, Mahogany, Alder, there are many more like douglas fir etc. Lacewood is interesting as a body and def leopard guitarist loves it. bye can't wait to build my next Warmoth.
Aaron, love the Wolfgang! What is your preferred nut width?
Metric works fine if you can control your final parameters but when it comes to fine work and getting down to the little skinny thinny you got to go with the American System
Smaller Slimmer necks are a result of surf music and predominance of bar chord use
Metric was actually adopted in the late 1700s Americans just don't want it they don't want any reminder that they were part of Europe and consider ourselves the new and better idea
Smacks of POLITICS!!!
Haha! That's funny. I think it's even more crazy with guitars that have tremolo/locked nuts. For one, there's a bunch of imitations. Different sizes from different brands use different hardware and neck profiles and then...It's hard to fit new necks into a body. I'm trying to Frankenstein 2 ESP-Ltds into one and it's a head scratcher. Both were designed in Metric System, but the Trem I bought is an Original Floyd Rose FRT-100 to replace a Floyd Rose Special and 1 neck nut is narrower than the other. Bizarre. Even the same brand on two V guitars from the same company don't have the same necks' widths.
