Fender Triple-Professional Dimensions

Post by Fred Layman »

Does anyone have a Fender triple-neck, 8-string Professional (the 3 legged model) who can tell me the dimensions between the first two necks? The distance between the back two necks is wider because the controls are there, but pictures indicate that the distance between the front two necks is smaller. What is the total distance from front to back on this guitar?

I beleive your talking Fender Custom here (the 3 neck version of the Dual Pro). The combined body is shaped like a trapezoid with the left depth of 14" and the right depth of 16".

I can give you the 2 dimensions of the 1st neck platform which is also irregularly shaped, but, I don't know how to give you the distance between necks 1 and 2 because of the irregular shape.

I'll take another crack at this. The top of fretboard #1 is spaced 3" from the bottom of fretboard #2.

Apologies for the grammer in my last. I was watching the Redskins lose...:-(

Hi Fred,
I have the demensions for the Fender triple neck deluxe
front of guitar is 14 1/8 inches wide
back is 16 5/16 inches wide
over all length down the center of all necks is 28 3/4 inches long
the inside neck is 1 1/2 inches thick
the middle neck is 2 inches thick
the outside neck is 2 1/2 inches thick
from the outside edge of the inside neck fret board to the step up of the middle neck at the bridge is 2 7/8 inches
at the nut it is 3 inches
on the middle neck from the edge of the fret board to the step up of the outside neck is
1 1/2 inches at the bridge
and 2 7/8 inches at the nut
all of these demensions are taken from the straight edge of the neck and not from the
rounded part where the bridge and pick up sit
and also the straight part behind the rounded pan end of the neck by the nut
the overall width of the inside neck is
6 7/8 inches at the bridge and 6 7/16 at the nut
the middle neck is 4 3/4 inches at the bridge and 4 5/8 at the nut
the outside neck is 4 1/2 inches at the bridge and 3 1/2 inches at the nut
and again these measurements are taken from the straight part of the neck
Hope this helps you . Troy

Thanks fellows. The essential dimensions I am after are the widths of the dividers between the outside and middle neck, and the middle neck and the inside neck. Sorry I was not more clear.
