This kind of informative video is what we need. Too many guitar reviews on youtube (even done by well known reviewers) never mention the guitar's fretboard radius, scale length, or even neck shape. Too many reviews basically just say, "Isn't this guitar pretty, and doesn't it sound nice?"
What would be the best one for small hands? I have a les Paul special 2 and it’s not comfortable to me any ideas?
@@Deckyy16 It's a very personal thing. I have small hands and my favorite neck is the one on the PR SE Santana (Wide Fat) or a Slim D shaped neck. I also have a C shaped Squier Telecaster, but the strings are too close from each other and the neck feels chunky, so my hand hurts.
and look how welli can play it.
A lot of guitarist don't talk about necks. Many years I just played what ever I could afford or what was cool at the moment in time.... when you find that neck that works for you it is a amazing feeling.
It isn't the number of frets that make the space between two frets bigger or smaller. The only thing that affects fret space is scale length, which is the length between nut and bridge. This is because of the mechanism of string viberate. Any neck has its 12th fret located at exactly half of the scale length, because that's where the viberate frequency doubles.
Yes, I watched the video again and the part about the frets is not very well explained. I'll further explain and correct it in my next video about guitar necks.
Thank you for that - adding another one at the body is also worthless.
What partabout the body is worthless?
Look at a Strat 21 vs. a 22, just an extra fret that crowds the p/u.
finally found this after hours wasting my time on others. Very incisive and illustrative. Thanks.
Thank you!
Thanks for the very informative video.
As an Australian married to a Swiss woman, I am happy to hear your familiar accent! 😊
thanks for this very informative video. A little confusion here, because distance between frets does not depend on number of frets (22 or 24) but it depends on scale length : 24,75 on gibson or 25,5 inches on fender (widerspace between frets). if L is scale length, fret number n distance from the nut is calculated with this formula : Ln = L / 2 ^ n/12
Finally someone who has thoroughly explained guitar necks, frets, and fret boards. Thank you sir ! You have enlightened me on so many issues I've wondered about for quite awhile.
Much appreciated.
Thank you!
This one of the most informative technical videos about the guitar that I've ever watched. I learned that I was mistaken about a lot of things, such as I always thought Gibsons had thicker necks than Fenders (I've never owned a Gibson, so I couldn't do a A/B comparison) and I had no idea that 24 fret necks are the same length as 21 fret necks - I've had necks with between 19 and 24 frets and I never realized the space between frets on a 24 were shorter! I also pulled out all my current electrics and took measurements while watching the video and discovered there doesn't have to be much difference in the neck width and thickness for there to be a huge difference in the way they feel in your hand. I always thought my Silvertone had an unusually small neck, almost suitable for a child, but when I measured it, it's not a lot smaller that the neck on my Telecaster, but they feel very different. Thanks for doing this! :)
Thank you!
Fantastic video & so much effort. You can't find neck profile videos on the internet & this video addresses an important concern!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
VERY TRUE. THERE IS A FIRM IN USA WHO PRODUCES REAL WIDE GUITAR NECK HANDLES FOR ELECTRIC GUITARS. SOME COME WITH NEARLY 2 INCH WIDE NUT LIKE CLASSICAL GUITARS. YOU CAN FIND on INTERNET..
YOU CAN ORDER THE HANDLE IN MANY COLOURS AND FORMS. LOOKING REAL GREAT.THE WOOD IS BEAUTIFUL AND YOU CAN CHOOSE WHAT WOOD OR COLOUR YOU WANT. BUT THE ORIGINAL FENDER STRATOCASTER EMBLEM IS LOST THEN. IF I RECALL THE COST IS ABOUT 25-30 USD. SHIPPING I DO NOT KNOW IF ITS FREE..
You packed a lot of great information about the subject in just 12 1/2 minutes. I learned everything that I wanted to. I think that you have an aptitude for teaching, thank you.
Thank you!
Thanks really helped explain what I needed to know when selecting a new gutair.
Thank you!
Agreed, this is a very practical and useful video!
Best video of specificity comparisons
Thank you!
The best video on guitar nacks!
Thank you :)
Thank you!
This really needs more views. Best explanation you can find on UA-cam and probably elsewhere.
Fantastic video
many thanks for the informative explanation on the guitar Fingerboard. greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
What a great video! And those schemes on paper are so cute))
Best video on necks. Dankeschön! Thank you!
Thank you sir for a very informative video on this subject. Well explained and easy to listen to, I learned a lot so thank you and have a nice day.
Thank you!
Thanks, Mr. Ron Wall!!
About time a interview about Necks width radius etc... nicely done sir!
Thank you!
Awesome Ron. Thanks for great video
Superb!!!! More please dude - this is really helpful. Subscribed.
Thank you!
Great info. Too few guitar makers publish these specs, and they should. The wrong neck can discourage new players and cause discomfort and even long-term damage for experienced guitarists. Also, now that a lot of guitar shopping is being done on the internet, it is even more important to have this information; since buyers cannot "try-out" a neck before purchasing.
Thank you! Very informative and helpful.
Thank you!
Excellent! thanks
Absolutely profi explanation! Simple, but full. Great idea with pictures! I hope that we will see more such videos, especially from you!!!
It was absolutely clear: so understandble and nice was it formulated and perfect told - not to fast and not too slow!
Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year!!!
Thank you!
thanks you very much for thevideo and great ilustrations
Thank you!
Very informative video sir, thank you!
Great vid!
A most enjoyable video on neck profiles, radiuses etc across several different guitar brands.
Amazing video, Ron. Really well done and super spot on with all the info!
This video has answered many of my questions on neck profiles. Thank you
Thank you!
Now THAT IS a video that's providing information !!!! Thank you Ron Wall !!!!
thats amazing work good job
Thank you!
Great video man!
Very informative video!
Thank you!
I have a strat from the first part of -64 (clay dots and spaghetti-logo). The neck is actually narrower than what is stated here. It is 41 mm. wide only. I do find it a little bit narrow to play sometimes. It is quite thick as well but that does not bother me at all as I have very big hands. Thank you very much for this video!
This is explained perfectly exactly what I've been looking for
This is the best all round video I have viewed on this subject so far and very helpful.
Outstanding video, well done. Very instructive.
Thank you!
Personally I like thicker"U" shapes and the neck is what makes or breaks a guitar. No matter cool or ugly, if the neck is nice I could work with it.
@@keithclark486 I have big hands so the U is my favorite.
Great video. Very informative. Thanks Ron!
Yet Gilmour's Black Strat was a 7.25" radius. I guess he was a strummer at heart!
I use a 7.25" in radius as I have small hands and cannot get my thumb over to the low E, even at fret one and barring chords is damned near impossible.
I just refretted my Strat neck myself and went medium.
This was very helpful. Thanks!
i am the no.239 thumb up!! and no thumb down!!great video 非常感谢，上传视频！！～～
Excellent
Thank you!
Thank you for making a video with so many things I needed to learn. It was very helpful to me. Greatly appreciated.
I have a Gibson SG and will be buying a Fender Stratocaster. I was confused about scale length and neck shapes. Thanks so much for clarifying these important guitar characteristics when choosing a new guitar.
Stumble upon this video when I want to learn about guitar neck playability. And it is answering the question I had in my head about the different feeling I had on my left hand when playing a strat vs playing a les paul. Thank you very much for putting so much effort on this awesome video, providing the knowledge that every guitarist should have.
Thank you for doing this. It’s just the information I I’ve been looking for.
Thank you!
Great explanation, thanks for sharing.
Very good vid. Thanks.
As far as the scales are concerned, PRS actually used 25" on most models. Also, Fender Japan has produced some 24.75" guitars. The Fender Mustang, Jaguar, Bronco, Duo-Sonic, and Musicmaster guitars have mostly had a 24" scale.
Good stuff :)
Thank you!
You are awsome
What an awesome video. Well done. Thank you for all the work you put into this.
Thank you!
good post Ron, thanks
Great explanation thank you ✌️
great video! very helpfull!
Thank you!
Extremely valuable information. Well presented. Thank you for taking the time and effort of making this video. I’m attempting to build a guitar and was wondering about neck specifics. What a benefit it will make to beginners to actually know there are neck differences and that selecting a guitar with a proper hand fit, if possible, will mean all the world to learning and playing.
Like OMG! I love you video! So helpful
Thank you!
Helped a lot. Thanks.
This video is so unique
Thank you!

You have the best video on this subject, Ron! You helped a lot! Thank you!!
Thank you!
Great video! PRS scale lengths are 25" however, with an exception for the "594" model (24.594").
Hi Mark, thanks for your comment, I paid attention to the history when assigning the guitar brands. Since Paul Reed Smith began to build solid body electric guitars in the mid 1970s (based on the model of Gibson guitars with the help of former Gibson CEO Ted McCarty), the models were mostly based on the Gibson construction method. In addition to the PRS scale 24.75 models; PRS 594, and PRS 245 and some special models the "normal PRS scale length is 25 '" which I personally find in terms of playability, closer to a Gibson than to a Fender scale 25.5'. Since guitar brands have been producing models across the board for several years, almost every statement can now be questioned and criticized as being incorrect. Fender have been building Humbuckers into their guitars for years, a Gibson invention (from Set Lover 1955), Ibanez known for Fender Scale 25.5 ", some Ibanez have a scale 26.5" (for example the RGDR) and even Gibson has a Les Paul with a scale 25.5 "made, the LP Long Scale. That's why the PRS stays in the" Gibson corner "for me. However, I am sure that you have a lot of fun playing your PRS. Keep on rocking! Ron
Great video!
Thank you!
thanks for your explain
Thank you!
nice Information ever
I always thought I preferred thin necks, but after trying a few I love fat necks but a thin nut
Thanks a lot! Great video!
Thank you!
You my sir know your stuffs.
Just a quick update since the PRS Silver Sky came out. They have a 25.5 scale length, 7.25 radius, 1 22/32" at nut. Neck depth 53/64". It's a fairly thick early 60s Strat neck, but still quite comfortable even for small hands. No sticky finish on back of neck so even when your hands sweat, it won't affect your sliding up and down the neck. I don't own one, only played one a couple of times. A very light guitar as well.
Man that was a great video, thanks alot
Ideal guitar. Les paul body, Strat scale neck
THANKS A LOT!!!
excellent, thank you Ron!
Thank you!
Thank you Ron!!!

Thanks for going to all the trouble...good info. Which is your favorite?
Hi Brick Breaker, I prefer MusicMan's: Silhouette, AXIS and Albert Lee neck shape (nut 41.3/1.62 - Assymetrical oiled and waxed), and the Gibson ES-335, 1968 (nut 40.5/1.59 shape rounded 0.828 gloss). Both neck shapes are extremely comfortable!
Where I live we can buy Yamaha - at the student price point there is a large quality variable and the Yamaha products are more consistently better quality (necks and frets).
Larger nut size is usually better for the larger fingers - more space.
Thank u sir
