That is how Howard and I did it on my SSD. I took detailed measurements of a couple of my favorite vintage Martings, discussed my preference in shape and feel and went from there. He said we could make some molds of my necks, but he didn’t feel that was necessary. It helped that my preference was vintage Martins, which Howard knows pretty well. Regardless, he nailed it. Most comfortable neck I have on any new guitar and the equal of any of my vintage Martins. Perfection.
