Default Can you order an electric guitar with...

Sorry, I know this is the acoustic forum, but I figured I'd give it a shot.
Can you order an electric guitar with a 1 and 7/8 neck? Do any builders, (fender, Gibson, G&L, ect...) do this?

G&L might. You might want to post your question over at the G&L forum at www.guitarsbyleo.com. Somebody over there will know the answer. Or you could call G&L and ask them...

Warmouth makes custome necks for Fender stratocaster/telecasters. You can order a wide neck from them. www.warmouth.com

It just bolts on. Assuming that you have a strat or a tele type body. If you don't know how, a pro would have to install it for you.

There is a limit to how wide you can go. The pickups have limited widths.

Do research on their web site. It answers all your questions.

Warmoth is good with their custom stuff. Just call them up. They do all sorts of different routings and topwood on replacement bodies. They also have a very wide selection of neck combos.

Check out Zachary Guitars Alex has a new F1 Telecaster model. He does great work, and charges very little for what he does.

G&L does offer their #3 neck with a 12" radius and a 1.75" nut width, available by special order.
