Hello everyone. I just found this forum and its pretty amazing. Im mainly a les paul fan but have recently go into Fenders. I've always had a thing for teles but today I was blown away by a 2005 Mary Kaye custom shop strat. The relicing was beautifully done, light weight, and the neck was perftect.
I've played a few custom shop 56 strats that had a v shape to them but this Mary kaye had a nice beefy neck. Felt more like a c shape to me. Anyhow, does anyone here own one of these beauties? I'm curious to know, what are the measurements of this neck from the 1st to 12th fret? Like I said, I mainly play les pauls but this neck made me feel like I was at home.
thanks

Welcome!

Yep that was/is a great run of guitars! I currently own a John English Masterbuilt Mary Kaye Tribute from that run and have also owned one built by John Cruz as well as played a Greg Fessler and Yuriy Shishkov all from that same run.

The Closet Classic finishes on those are amazingly well done. The neck sizes seemed to be all over the place though...So if you liked the one you tried....find out which Masterbuilder it was....and either buy it or search to find another one by the same builder.

The Cruz I had, had a very small feeling neck compared to the English that I now own, which is a bit on the meaty side. I Also recall the Yuriy neck feeling quite compact with the Fessler somewhere towards the middle.

I don't have any calipers to give you measurements on the English...sorry.
