I love the feel of the AO60's series necks. I'm just wondering what other Jazzmasters have that same neck carve and taper?

The AO neck feels more wide/flat to me.
AV65 is the chunkiest I think. I only tried a Vintera for a few minutes but I like that shape a lot. It’s a good bit fuller than the old 60’s Lacquer.

Fender calls the AO a "mid 60's C" ...
1st fret 0.825" 21.0mm
12th fret 0.975" 24.8mm
cf current 2020 custom shop profile catalog .... like "65 strat C" ... albeit AO is 9.5" radius ..

How big are the shoulders? I tried a couple of AO65 strats and theyre too big for me. Is that a similar neck?

The JM is the only one I haven't played. I own the AO60's Tele, Strat, and Jaguar. The necks are all pretty similar (which is why I bought them). I'd imagine the JM is probably the same.bebenavole wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 11:01 amHow big are the shoulders? I tried a couple of AO65 strats and theyre too big for me. Is that a similar neck?
