The quest for Kurt's neck, show your vintage Competition '69-'71 Mustangs, you might have his twin
Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2022 4:37 am
Hello everyone,
for those who stumbled on it and/or is following this adventure, me and AcrylicSuperman are still working on the JAG-STANG Prototype - Reverse Engineering project and we're now focusing our research on Kurt's Competition Mustang neck in order to get a better insight to what the actual nut & profile specs are.
In order not to increase an already very long thread with scattered data, we're now thinking about spicing things up a little bit and get this dedicated thread with a different and -hopefully- more engaging twist.
In short:
Everyone is much welcome;
You can stop here if you'd like the fun of the active detective work or just chime in to post your lovely vintage competition Mustangs beauties with no further obligation.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
That said, what we’re looking for now is to gather these measurements to see if we find patterns and or consistencies so, if you got a caliper at reach, this is the laundry list:
Year: 19xx
Neck size: A-B
Nut width:
1st – 12th fret thickness:
Back profile: C-D-U-V
Neck Thickness: Thin, Medium, Chunky.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
For reference, this is the back of Kurt’s Compstang:
Even though any bit of insight could be of great help even by simply posting pictures or measurements, Pics of the back of the neck will likely be important since we know the back of Kurt's directly bleeds into the headstock, same with the Jagstang prototype.
Thank you all.
Cheers
