I've heard many praises about Prucha neck.

I've the intention to buy a Fall in love, but i have no idea about the neck.

Is that close to a Stelling neck and please could you indicate the dimensions neck ?

-scale lenght ?
- width at 1st fret, 12th fret, 22th fret ?
- thickness at 1st fret, 12th fret, 22th fret ?

Thanks for your answers.

Patrick

He and Geoff Stelling are old friends, but they both build their own distinct banjos. Stelling's neck shape has evolved over the years; in very general terms, his early banjos have necks that are wider, flatter and less thick than his later banjos. His later banjos feel more like a Gbson than his earlier ones. (remember all this is very generalized) In general, Prucha's necks are slightly narrower in width, about the same as a Gibson, are more rounded, and have a nice depth, but aren't big and thick. I just received a new custom Prucha, and the neck on this banjo is slightly deeper and slightly V-shaped. It felt very comfortable in my hand as soon as I first picked it up.
