We all know that necks come in all shapes and sizes. But one thing is for certain IMO, a Gibson neck feels like a “Gibson” and a Fender neck feels like a “Fender”, all other factors being equal. Anyone else share this experience? And why is this? Neck wood type (maple vs mahogany), machine cut vs hand sanded, etc?? I’ve played a Fender Custom strat with a chunky C type neck and compare it to an R9 59 type neck with nearly same neck thickness at the 1st and 12th frets (.86-.97) and yet they are completely different animals. Same frets (6105) only major difference being radius (10” vs 12”) and scale length. Width at nut maybe?
