Help! Which neck is most similar to Luke's neck in Warmoth?

[jl1230]

Hello! I am using Luke 2 guitar.

I really like Luke's neck.
I have a small hand, but Luke fits my hand.
So I'm going to replace the neck of another Strat I have with a neck from Warmoth.

The nut width can be set to 1-5/8, the same as Luke.

But I don't know what to set the neck profile.
I know Luke's neck is in the shape of a Soft V.
However, when applied from Warmoth to Soft V (Clapton), the neck becomes a little thicker than Standard Thin.
So I am thinking. Because I don't like the thicker neck.
Some say that the Wolfgang profile on Warmoth is most similar to the Music-man guitar.

Which profile do you think is good to set up?
Standard Thin? Soft V(Clapton)? Wolfgang? Or what else?
I have no experience with a warmoth neck. I need your help!!

Why don’t you ask Warmoth for their advice?

There is no exact replica offered by Warmoth. The closest would be the Clapton but those are thicker, with the first fret depth being .850 versus the Luke's .825. I think it would feel pretty different.

The Wolfgang is patterned off of the offset Axis profile and would not even remotely match the Luke necks.

I agree that calling or emailing Warmoth is the best answer here, though my understanding is that they are quite understaffed at the moment and their turnaround time for everything is lagging.
