Hi guys,
are specific neck shapes identical when compared between different model lines? So is the ‚modern C‘ the same shape on a Squier 50‘s Classic Vibe Tele and an American Special Strat?
Thanks in advance

The basic profile is the same.
But differences between different model series (from different factories, possibly from different years, or even decades) can be quite noticeable,
differences between two individual guitars from the same model series (same age, same factory) are usually minor.

Ya... Given that a Squier is basically a Cort/Samick licensed import, it's a pretty safe bet to say that the profile on a Squier will not be identical to that of a US-made or MiM model.

Hmph.
Just one example to that one-liner: the neck profile on American Series/Standard Strats has varied a lot, with different year models, but even with guitars built time-wise very close to one another. They have/had the basic profile (and even that has changed over the years), but then comes the the handiwork&magic of the workers doing the final finishing... :wink:

Not that there's anything wrong with Cort/Samick
The Koreans, Chinese, and Indonesians can make extremely high quality products given the resources. The Korean PRS models are every bit as nice as nearly anything made in the US short of custom shop builds, and Samick and Young Chang have given Yamaha a run for their money on pianos.
