I really like the N4 spec neck I have on another axe. I want rosewood this time around though and I still want to stick with jumbo frets. Would I have to do a custom order at Warmoth and pay out my ass? I wanted to like the Charvel necks but I found them too small/narrow.. I guess I like the extra real estate i have onflatter wider necks. Same thing happens with Les Paul types. Like playing them but solo'ing I just get a better hold of notes on a diff neck.
 
Using my mad google skillz, I found the following specs. I don't need to have the washburn headstock, I just really like the neck.. as I am a relative newb when it comes to necks, any help pointing me in the right direction would be helpful:

1991 N4 Davies

Width:

Nut - 1.72 / 43.57mm
12th - 2.08 / 52.70mm

Thickness:

Nut - .81 / 20.63mm
12th - .90 / 22.92mm



1993 N4 USA

Width:

Nut - 1.60 / 40.80mm
12th - 2.03 / 51.53mm

Thickness:

Nut - .81 / 20.60mm
12th - .90 / 22.94mm



2006 N5

Width:
Nut - 1.72 / 43.78mm
12th - 2.09 / 53.06mm

Thickness:

Nut - .76 / 19.42mm
12th - .86 / 21.86mm

None of this takes in radius though..
 
Warmoth is not too expensive if you don't go crazy with options. Their standard thin contour is very close to the N4 specs.
 
I wonder how consistent the original Davies guitars were? I have a '91 model and the neck measures out to:
Nut width = 42.5mm or 1.7"
12th fret width = 52mm or 2.0"

Thickness at 1st fret = 21mm or .83"
Thickness at 12th fret = 24mm or .95"

The thing I find most unique about this neck is the back profile. Mine is a VERY soft V. There's very little shoulder on either side of the neck. Makes it feel a little smaller then it actually is...

Warmoth's closest profile to my guitar would be the Clapton profile with the point of the V knocked down a bit...

Nope, not any longer. Jon sold the shop. That used to be the place to go for anything N4 (or Washburn for that matter).
