Hello,
If I only look at one model, let's say the ST-90SA, will every neck be the same or is there much variation? Are some thicker, some thinner?
Thank you very much!
PS: I am also interested in the ST-57DG and ST-59HM. (I know that the 59 has a soft V vs C in the others, but that is not what I am referring to).

Curious about this myself. I find the maple neck of my st62 a bit too wide and fat for my liking.

I'm sure same model has same thickness neck! I had 2 ST62's and the necks were normal C shape. Not thin, not thick. SC 450 has thick neck. TE52 has a very thick neck. TE90QM and TE90FLT have the same slim D shape neck. The ST-20 has a very thin Modern C shape. The HB35 has a C shape more on the SC450 side of things.

I have 5 bentons in one form or another . ST62, TE 52, SC 450 (old Gibson shape ), TE 20 neck (on les paul junior build ) and JA 60 neck (on les paul Double cut build ) Of them all the 62 is the biggest. The 52 and 450 feel like normal sized necks .THe Ja 60 would be the slimmest and the TE20 is wide but not deep with the flattest radius of them all Maybe the 62's vary between maple and rosewood boards

I now have the ST62 maple but used to have the ST-62VW with rosewood neck and remember being very much as the ST62MN. I remember as I really dislike fat/thick necks as for example the baseball bat of the TE52

Well, I was looking for a topic like that! I have a squier telecaster classic vibe neck and I wonder it fits in the TE30 ir even in the TE52 model. Can anyone tell me the heel of the neck? Is 55,5mm or the standard 56mm? Thanks in advance.

I just wanted to say thank you for the answers. So I know I can keep the guitar, if it is all ok and I like the neck and won't have to try several of the same model just to look, if there is a neck that fits me.
