A few Y2D Questions

[Agileguy_101]

So I love the neck on my Y2D so very much that for the custom guitar I'm about to have made for me, I want to more or less duplicate the neck. (I would just buy another EBMM but you guys don't make Teles! Hint Hint)

Does anyone know the thickness of the neck at both the 1st and 12th frets?

Does anyone know what fret size is used on the Y2D?

Thanks!

PS - Are non-Music Man NGD posts even allowed here? I've never seen one and I'm sure some of you guys have bought non Music Man guitars, so I figured only MM-related discussion is permitted. I just wanted to make sure though because this is going to be one hell of a guitar that I want the world to marvel at hahaha

BP asks that we only post EBMM-related content here. I'd imagine that most forum members here own other brands of guitars that they love, and they are great guitars, but there are a ton of other guitar forums for all other guitar brands and this is the official company forum of EBMM. Thanks.

Hi, The Axis is a single cut guitar with a flat top. They are much nicer then any Telecaster I've ever seen. You should check one out.

Completely agree! I was actually looking for a Telecaster, but ended up with this instead. The good old Axis Sport!

A few people have modded their EBMMs to fit a tele bridge. If I recll correctly, somebody here on the forum did a silhouette, and somebody else did an ASS, and who's that famous country player with the custom finish tele bridge ASS?

I love my EBMM's, but I also love my t'casters....
A tele is a tele, and you just can't fake that. I've tried many 'copies', and it's always apples / oranges...
Kinda like all the Marshall copies/clones. Some are improvements over the originals, but none are quite the same thing...
I'm a big proponent of accepting each individual instrument / amp for what it is and what it can do rather than trying to make them imitate something they are not.

Thank you. EBMM's and Telecasters are two completely different instruments, and I don't think that telling people to get a Music Man just to get a Music Man instead of what someone really wants does anyone any good. The customer ends up with something they don't want and will probably return and Music Man/retailer has to deal with a return sale.

I've played Axii before but they're nothing like a Telecaster. Even though the guitar I'm having built is a much more modern Tele (Hipshot 6 saddle hardtail, P90 neck pickup, flame top, ebony board, etc) it still has the Tele bridge pickup which I've never been able to get another pickup to sound like.

Plus, I can't get an Axis with all of the options I want - ebony board, stainless steel frets, paintjob, etc. So as much as I love EBMM, they just can't make me the guitar I want.

By the time I get a new Axis, have it routed for a tele bridge and pickup, get a new pickguard, and anything else that entails, I'm out way more than the guitar I'm having made, plus I still don't get all of the options I want.

Music Man makes incredible guitars, but it just so happens they will not/do not make what I want. I don't think there's anything wrong with that - that's the point of capitalism.

Now does anybody have the neck and fret measurements? If not, it's fine, I'll just go out and buy myself a set of digital calipers. But if I don't have to that'd be awesome, all the more money I can put towards funding my custom guitar.

checked this one

but sadly no info about the Y2D, just the pre-Y2D-Standard-Morse which has slightly other measurements
