Somewhere in the same ballpark for sure. It's a pretty standard C-shaped neck. If you are looking for a particularly chunky neck, I would look elsewhere, but if a chunky neck bothers you, this guitar should be fine.
About to eat some bbq wings, its super bright out rn my gf is about to come home and this pleasant lil tune matches the vibe exactly, beautifully played!!
I appreciate all the helpful info. I have an Epi Dot which I recently turned into a baritone, C to C. You have me curious about flatwound strings. But for baritone, it seems I need to go brighter. The Dot had been a pretty much dark sounding guitar before I installed HB size P90s. I have a custom set of strings on order from StringJoy: 11 14 20p 30 42 56 I had bought their baritone med gauge set, and the 58 was too thick for the locking tuner. I have a String Butler, and that clips under the lowest string tuner nut, so that is probably why the 58 would not work. I do mostly fingerpicking folk-rock on the baritone acoustic I have. That is tuned C to C, with lowest string being a 56. Eventually I want to upgrade from the Dot to the Viking, and then make all the changes you made. But for pickups, I am thinking a Filter'Tron type. I'd have to get that in a HB size, right? The SD Psyclone looks interesting ... thanks again! Can you list the parts you installed, like the upgrades jack?
Hi Todd! Yes, the pickup routing and brackets are designed for standard humbucker-sized pickups. Pickups would need to be that size in order to install without further modification. Parts installed: Lindy Fralin Pure PAF humbuckers Switchcraft 3-way toggle switch CTS 500k pots (2 standard, 2 push-pull) Oval jack plate (you can find them on StewMac) Output jack (unknown make, my luthier deemed it necessary to replace and used what he had on hand) As I mention in the video, the stock mechanical elements (nut, tuners) are quite good.
Thank you for the help. Here is an example of how P90 HB size pickups sound in that guitar: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yeynWkM1PWk.html
Hi Perry! Sorry, I didn't see this until just now. I can't give any particular brand or model my endorsement since I haven't tried any of them yet, but here are some websites offering amplified tres models.

There are also some sellers on Reverb selling pre-converted guitars. I would be wary of anything converted from a nylon-string to a tres, as those necks aren't meant to support the amount of tension exerted on them by the steel strings of the tres, but something converted from a steel-string could be fine.
Beautiful playing. I was only able to make out the basic vocal melodies and the intro scatting. I swear, she was able to improvise her scat singing like a trumpet player. Great playing bro, absolutely killed it here.
Thanks, Chris-- That was a beautiful tribute-- and very well-played. I assume that was from "The Romance of the Chordal Guitar"? I can still hear Bucky announcing the examples on the accompanying disc-- kind of "shouting " them out..;) What a wonderful gesture-- Thanks Again!!
