I really like the neck (except for the smallish frets). The radius is pretty flat, probably 12". The width at the nut is 1 11/16 and the thickness at the nut is 15/16.

The necks ESP made for those early 80's "USA" Kramers were damned nice too!

I micawbered mine a la Keef ('08 MIM Classic '50's Tele with a SD Antiquity HB in the neck & an SD STL-1 Vintage '54 in the bridge). Most range of tone on any guitar I've ever had... kind of off topic I know but in the same ball park

you should come to Japan and see how many people people people are making exact copies of both US big two headstocks. Some well known US names too...Van Zandt and Seymour Duncan to name but two. Of course those will never be sold Stateside because of that but they are all around here. The VZs are made by PGM and the Duncans were made by ESP.
I`ve not yet seen an Edwards Ron Wood yet but I have seen Keith versions as well as Jeff Beck models and as many know the Edwards are owned by ESP anyways.
I have 3 Bacchus tele customs and personally I prefer the two tone knobs to dial in as much or as little of each p`up...Bacchus guitars are top notch too, another that used to have exact headstock shapes...but they changed their designs a few times over the past 12~15 years. I know those show up on line and I was introduced to those here by a former member Tom Quinn, thanks Tom where ever you are. But the ESP Ron Woods I`ve seen in the shops in Japan have all been real nice guitars and I was this close to buying one once, but we`re spolied for fabulous guitars in Japan these days and it`s hard to choose sometimes...so I`m working on having at least one of everything!!!
