What's the depth of the neck at 1st fret and say 12th fret?

I do have a digital caliper. I'll try and figure out how to use it tonight and measure!

Would love if you could post a sound or video sample

Sorry, but I’ve been a bit pre-occupied with work the last couple of weeks, so I let this post just sit here...

I just measured the neck depth and at the 1st fret it is between .92 and .94”. At the 7th it is 1.06”. At the 12th fret it is rising into the heel.

Very helpful. You're right this is a vintage baseball bat neck size.
Thanks for the response.

So is this an unusual neck, or standard specs for a Fairbanks?

I've been a little slow in posting this, but this guitar is sold. Thanks Andrew! Play it in good health.
