Thanks 3. Nice to see you posting. :D
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

The template for the 480XC neck and fretboard is the standard 620.

Thanks, that was interesting to read! I had no clue the XC version has a push/pull knob! :!: Thanks :)

Given that the 650C fingerboard was ok but a tad to wide for my tiny hands to feel completely comfy, at least the 480XC should be familiar to play then! :D

Fun fact: Initially, the plan was to go with the 650/660 (1 3/4") nut width and that is how the two prototypes we put up on social media back in January were made. Ultimately, we decided the 620/350 width would appeal to more people.

Interesting fact Ben! As I'm not active on social media I missed those pictures :lol:

I actually had a shredder colleague of mine tell me today that it's not hand size but bad positioning of hands that make people "dislike" certain necks (as we all know shredders are always right :lol: )
