The Greatest Playing Necks in the World—
come in many different sizes:

We basically have four electric guitar neck profiles:

• Even-Taper (formerly known as: T/A Standard)
• Happy Medium (formerly known as: Cobra & Atom Standard)
• 60’s Vibe (formerly known as: 62 Roundback)
• 50’s V

We basically have one live-music acoustic guitar neck profile:

• Acoustic-Bronze

All of our necks have a fingerboard radius of 12 to 14-inch (conical radius)—a very slight, undetectable change from nut to neck-to-body joint. We find this radius to be the “magic number”—the best of all worlds, allowing for a comfortable fretboard arch while offering legendary Anderson silky smooth playability and unlimited bendability with low action height.

Even-Taper: our most popular neck profile for our 25 1/2-inch scale-length guitars. A slim, sleek and fast silhouette with not a lot of depth change from the nut to the 12th fret. As your hand slides up to the upper frets, playing feel remains the same.

The Even-Taper is offered in two nut widths:

• 1 11/16 -inch
• 1 5/8-inch

For the technically minded:

• Even-Taper: .810-inch thick at the first fret tapering to .870 at the 12th fret*

Even-Taper Oversized: And if you prefer the feel of a bigger (deeper) neck backshape, we offer this same Even-Taper silhouette increased in depth by +.030, +.050, +.070 or +.100 of an inch.

For the technically minded:

• +.030 Even-Taper: .840-inch at the first fret to .900 at the 12th fret*
• +.050 Even-Taper: .860-inch at the first fret to .920 at the 12th fret*
• +.070 Even-Taper: .880-inch at the first fret to .940 at the 12th fret*
• +.100 Even-Taper: .910-inch at the first fret to .970 at the 12th fret*

Happy Medium: Our most popular Cobra and Atom neck backshape is a medium-depth backshape for the: “not too big and not too small but just right” neck feel. The taper is a “happy medium” among our other neck shapes.

The Happy Medium is offered in two nut widths:

• 1 5/8-inch
• 1 11/16 -inch

For the technically minded:

• Happy Medium: .825 at the 1st fret to .905 at the 12th*

Happy Medium Oversized: And if you prefer the feel of a bigger (deeper) neck backshape, we offer this same Happy Medium silhouette increased in depth by +.030 or +.050-inch.

For the technically minded:

• +.030 Happy Medium: .855-inch at the first fret to .935 at the 12th fret*
• +.050 Happy Medium: .875-inch at the first fret to .955 at the 12th fret*

60’s Vibe: The defining character of the 60’s Vibe is an increase in depth as your hand moves from 1st to 12 fret. It is considered a medium-depth neck with an early 60’s-style taper. Slightly deeper than the Even-Taper backshape.

The 60’s Vibe is offered in two nut widths:

• 1 5/8-inch
• 1 11/16 -inch

For the technically minded:

• 60’s Vibe: .835-inch thick at the first fret increasing taper to .960-inch*

60’s Vibe Oversized: And if you prefer the feel of a bigger (deeper) neck backshape, we offer this same 60’s Vibe silhouette increased in depth by +.020-inch.

For the technically minded:

• +.020 60’s Vibe: .855-inch at the first fret to .980 at the 12th fret*

50’s V: is a "V" backshape.

50’s V is offered in two depths:

• Small 50’s V— a slim/medium-depth neck with a soft “V” backshape. 1 5/8-inch or 1 11/16 -inch nut-width.
• Large 50’s V—a comfortable, deep “V” with a more pronounced “V” backshape. 1 5/8-inch or 1 11/16-inch nut-width.

For the technically minded:

• Small 50’s V: .860-inch at the first fret to .920-inch at the 12th*
• Large 50’s V: .910-inch at the first fret to .970-inch at the 12th*

Acoustic Bronze: a sleek, slim/medium-depth neck for a nicely balanced Acoustic Guitar feel. 1.73-inch nut-width only.

For the technically minded:

• Acoustic Bronze: .820 at the 1st fret to .890 at the 12th*
