The Secret of The Winzz-Glider Neck

When it comes to electric guitar design, the neck is often the heart of playability. Whether you’re strumming chords or shredding solos, factors such as nut width, thickness, profile shape, and fingerboard radius directly shape the playing experience. Today, we’ll uncover the specifications of the Winzz Glider Neck—a design that balances vintage familiarity with modern performance.

Slightly Narrower for More Agility — 41.3mm Nut Width

Most electric guitars have nut widths around 42–43mm. The Winzz Glider Neck opts for 41.3mm.

• This size feels more compact and allows quicker chord transitions, especially for players with smaller hands.

• For comparison: the Music Man Axis guitar has a nut width of 41.3mm (1.625"). findmyguitar.com

• Also, discussions in gear forums indicate many Music Man models use approximately this nut width. guitarscanada.com

Medium Thickness that Speaks Comfort & Endurance

To ensure long sessions don’t become painful:

• The Glider Neck has a balanced thickness—not too chunky, but enough to provide solid palm support.

• The feel is responsive, reducing fatigue during long practice or performance.

• This thickness is suited across genres, from rhythm-heavy styles to fast lead work.

Profile Transition: From “C” Low to Subtle “D” High

Winzz Glider Neck changes its cross-sectional profile as you move up the fretboard:

• At the lower frets, it has a “C”-shaped feel—rounded, comfortable for chords.

• Higher up, it gently shifts towards a “D” curve, offering more thumb support for solos or broader reaches.

• The evolving contour aims to capture both the warmth of vintage and the playability wanted in modern styles.

10-Inch Fingerboard Radius: The Sweet Spot

With a 10" radius fingerboard:

• Chords lie comfortably without the “cupping” effect seen on more curved (lower radius) boards.

• Bends are smooth, avoiding string choking or fretting out.

• Compared to flatter modern boards (12–16"), 10" keeps a touch of vintage roundness while working well for lead playing.

Conclusion

Winzz’s design philosophy is to provide:

• 41.3mm nut width for agility and comfort;

• Medium thickness for stability without fatigue;

• A C → D profile transition for versatility between chord and lead work;

• 10" radius as a balance between vintage feel and modern playability.

It’s not just specs—it’s an experience. With the Winzz Glider Neck, you get both comfort and freedom.
