Can anyone hook me neck demensions for a 12 string I can't seem to find any templates out there for it. I am just looking for the width at the nut and 12th fret width. though a scaled picture would be good too. From there I can work it out on google sketchit. Thanks in advance. |

Nut width is a personal preference. I just did one at 1.75" which I find comfortable Width at 12th fret will vary depending on the nut width you choose and the string spacing at the bridge and how much side clearance (outer string to edge of board) you prefer. There is no standard, get the bridge first. On mine, I had a 2.16" string spread at the bridge and the 12th fret neck width came to 2.10" YMMV |
