Except for Wildwood/Music Zoo, who puts 1st/12th thickness on their website?

[JMS]

Other than Wildwood Guitars and Music Zoo, does anyone know of any other guitar stores that put neck thickness at the 1st &/or 12th frets on their websites?

I suppose I could call/email the store (or person if it's a single person such as on reverb/ebay or such), but I've tried that in the past and of the quarter of the people that responded to me, only an eighth even knew how/where to measure neck thickness (some didn't even know it was a "thing" nor how it's sometimes helpful to some shoppers to know). Specs are fairly tight at the PRS factory, but there's still enough wiggle room for a noticeable enough difference (at least noticeable to me & my playing hand).

Thanks.

Chicago Music Exchange does.

Much appreciate the help & feedback. Trying the guitar in person before committing to buying is ideal, but with covid and with some guitars being out-of-town/too far to drive to, I was hoping to find more places providing neck specs on their websites. If shipping/restocking/rma/etc costs were a non-issue, I'd be able to find a guitar that fits my hands/playing style so much faster.

Yeah, some places only list neck thicknesses half the time. Someone mentioned Wilcutt Guitars who I love, but I just checked their listing for 'PRS DGT MCCARTY SUNBURST 10 TOP' which lists the weight at 7.94 LBS, but I couldn't find neck thickness on the page (feel free to correct me since my eyes sometimes miss things). I looked at Chicago Music Exchange which I like just as much as the other stores too, and they're a little hit or miss too. I love how Wildwood keeps the summary listing simple and seems to consistently use the same formatted structure (axe name, 1st-12th thickness/weight, color, sn, $).

Ok...I'm just about fed up with trying to find neck thicknesses online & waiting for people to get back to me with measurements (& hoping they measure the right way - a few were measuring nut widths), so I was thinking about buying from a big box store (guitar center, sam ash) and returning the guitar locally since I have a few of those stores nearby. Some of the guitars I'm looking for are PRS custom 24s & 594s, but I've never even touched a PRS to know differences between pattern thin/regular/vintage so it's impossible for me to know what I like & in these times of covid I'm not sure I want to hang around a guitar store trying different guitars (in the past, it's taken a few hours to try various fenders & gibsons in the store). Who knows, I may just fall in love with the first guitar I try. Are there any down sides to this 'try it & return it if I don't love it' plan? Maybe I'll start a new thread about this.

The only downside is the hassle of boxing it back up and taking somewhere to ship it. Sweetwater has a good return program. I’d think they be willing to measure necks, too. Otherwise, hit up one of the dealers that post in the dealer section of this forum. They’re smaller places, and the folks at these spots are cool to work with.
