DGT Neck Profile Comparison?

[CandidPicker]

Hi,

Was wondering how one might compare the neck profile of a PRS DGT guitar with other neck profiles. What is the closest approximation of the DGT's neck profile to something else that PRS makes?

Check out this thread. There are also links in this thread to 3 or 4 other threads that contain some info.

DGT Neck Profile

Hi PRS mavens—how does the DGT neck shape differ from the Pattern or Pattern Vintage shape? If anyone has width and depth measurements, that would be wonderful. Thanks! (Surely there’s a thread on this already, but the search tool won’t handle the term “DGT”!)

This article has a chart comparing the measurements of the various neck profiles.

Feels to me almost like a pattern that isn’t as wide

The DGT nut is slightly more narrow than the others. Something about the carve makes it feel narrower still, not quite sure what it is.

Thanks. The list comparison was concise and what I needed to know. Appreciated.

That would be pattern regular wouldn't it?

Neck Width at Nut

Neck width at Body

Neck Depth at 1/2 Fret

Neck Depth at 12 1/2 Fret

DGT

1 21/32" [42.06]

2 7/32" [56.337]

27/32" [21.41]

61/64" [24.20]

Pattern Reg

1 21/32" [42.06]

2 1/4" [57.15]

27/32" [21.41]

59/64" [23.39]

This is what represents the DGT and pattern regular neck profiles. Pattern Regular is close, though slightly wider and shallower at body and 12-½ fret...

The DGT is a Pattern Reg that tapers to a Pattern up the neck

Technically the only difference between pattern and pattern regular is nut width isn't it?

Nope Pattern is 1/32 wider all the way up the neck

The Warmoth boat neck with a 1.65 nut width is the closest they have to a DGT profile.

I have one on a Tele. It's similar but with a bit more V shape down low in the one I got.

Thought boat necks were 1" 12th fret sofv v?

Specs posted above show dgt less wide at the body by 1/32" than pattern regular, but thicker front-back past the 12th.

Never held one but sounds interesting. I like pattern regular and prefer the bigger frets.
