does anybody know, or have a way of finding out the neck shape of a 62 custom tele ? if possible, in particular an early 80's MIJ one ? although i am sort of assuming all 62 custom tele necks are the same, regardless of vintage or origin.

a quick google search didnt give much up. im hoping its easier to find a neck similar to a 62 custom tele than it is a 72 custom, which is thicker.

The '62 Custom would have a C shaped neck, although how thick or thin it is I wouldn't know.

The '62 Custom Tele RIs all have a slightly different neck shape depending on country of origin - it seems like the USAs are the thinnest, and the old MIMs and MIJs were slightly thicker but I'm not sure which are the thickest. That is not to say that they are very thick at all - they are all at best a "medium vintage C" shape - it's just that the USA AV' 62 Custom Teles were more of a "small-medium vintage C" shape.

The '72 Tele Custom has a different shape; they are both thicker and have less taper - meaning they don't increase as much as you move from the 1st fret to the 12th fret.
