I’m ordering/assembling parts for my second Alligator build. I’ve got just about everything except the neck. I want to use a genuine Fender neck as I just don’t feel comfortable putting a “Fender” decal on a non-Fender neck. Alligator sported a 1955 neck which had a soft “V” and a 7.25” radius. I’m considering the following three options offered by Fender (the second two are described as modded 50s):
1. Same specs as above - soft “V” and 7.25” radius
2. Soft “V” and 9.5” radius
3. Modern “C” and 9.5” radius
I’m leaning towards #2. I’m thinking most Jerry players would be happier with the 9.5” radius. But I thought I’d put this out there for opinions. So, what do y’all think?
Bill, tgo
