The term “neck profile” refers to the shape of the back of a guitar neck in cross section, and it’s often used interchangeably with the term “back shape.”

Fender Custom Shop Neck Profiles

You can also refer to it simply as “neck shape,” although there are other important neck measurements with which “neck profile” shouldn’t be confused (i.e., neck width, neck depth and fingerboard radius). So, what does all this mean to the average guitar player who is considering buying a Fender guitar with a description that mentions the instrument’s neck profile? Before delving into the details, it’s important to understand that neck profile doesn’t affect the sound of the guitar itself; rather, it affects the way you play it. There isn’t one shape that’s objectively better than another when it comes to soloing, chording, jazz licks, scissor kicks or whatever technique you fancy. OK, now the details: Fender uses the letters C, U and V to designate its neck profiles, along with numerous variations of each.

Another benefit of the design is that winding the coil by hand offers the opportunity of having your pickup sound just as good as, if not better than, the same coil wound by a machine. This means that while your pickup might not look store-bought, it will stand a good chance of sounding every bit as good. We discussed all the tools we’ll need in the last article — we recommend having a look, if you haven’t yet.

[Keith Decent] decided to make a pickup from scratch, using only materials found lying around the workshop. (Youtube, embedded below). To build a pickup, you’ll want some magnet wire. Pickups! Make a Guitar Pickup : 9 Steps. Pickups are made using very thin copper wire, 42 or 43 gauge. I would recommend buying your wire in a spool to make the winding easier, but you can find this kind of wire in other objects if you want. For example, I found mine in a pair of old dog clippers.

However, just a slight warning, the winding will go more slowly if you don't have a nice round spool. To start winding, wrap a few inches of the copper wire around and through the left hand hole on the bottom piece of the bobbin (the other hole is used to secure the bobbin to the sewing machine in step 4). Wrap the wire around the bobbin at least ten times by hand. LMI Shop. Guitar Building Templates.
