DV52 Neck

[yoffer]

I've got a DV52 brough it off a member here ( Graham ) 10+ years ago, it's a stunning guitar and the neck on it is really slim and confortable, potentially I'm looking to get a smaller bodied Guild what other models have the same neck profile/size as my DV52?

Should say this is in addition to the DV52, I'm not intending parting with it.

My '70 D-25 has a pretty thin neck (I'd guess .82"-.84") an the one one my '74 is just a bit thicker (I'd guess .85"-.86"). Both 1-11/16" wide. But I know they vary my model, but I bet one on a '68-'71 F-30 would be similar.

Boy, it's really hard to say! I've had very differently shaped necks (as in profiles) on similar or the same models before. Like one neck will be very shallow, in terms of depth. And the other will be on the thicker, or beefier side, at least just relatively speaking. This even at one time included a '90s F-30 (which had had a more thin carve) & then a '90s F-30R (which was thick enough that I often had trouble keeping my Schubb capo from flying off starting at around the 4th fret or so)...

I'd say the variation extended into the Tacoma era. My '07 F40 has a noticeably thicker neck than my '07 F30, which is fairly slender.I haven't measured the F40, but going back and forth between the two guitars underscores how different the two necks are.

In New Hartford, Guild upped the use of CNC machines for the necks, resulting in far greater consistency from guitar to guitar.
