Tokai Neck Profiles

[Jim Jones]

Hey guys,

Neck profile is something that has become very important to me in recent years. I thought maybe we could take some measurements of instruments we own or have access to, and post the results so we can see if there are patterns when it comes to different years/models of Tokais.

I'll start it off:

2003 Tokai Love Rock NTJ-60 Double Cutaway Junior
Neck thickenss at 1st fret - .88" / 22.4mm
Neck thickness at 12th frett - .98" / 24.9mm
C-shaped profile

From these measurements this neck seems typical of the Gibson '59 profile.

Jim

There was a similar thread in 2003 which reads a bit "distorted", because LoveRockerUK deleted all his postings, but there's still a lot of information there:
