See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge The exact neck widths for each model currently in production (basses too) are included in the specifications for each model on the Rickenbacker web site, http://www.rickenbacker.com/ Most Rickenbacker guitars in production today come with a neck that is 1 5/8" wide at the nut, and 1 15/16" at the 12th fret. But there are also some Rickenbackers guitars in production which have a wider neck, measuring 1 3/4" at the nut and 2 1/16" at the 12th fret. If you're looking for a guitar with a wider neck, here is what John Hall has to say: "The Tom Petty Limited Edition, the 380L Laguna, and the 650 Series all have the same wider neck, essentially the same as a Les Paul (although we chose to have a different shape). But we also announced two new models to our dealers on Decmber 24th [1997]. . . the Model 660 six stringer and the Model 660/12 twelve stringer, which all have this wider profile neck. These are now in standard production and pretty well gives everyone a choice of their favorite neck width in the Rickenbacker line."
