SG's with the smallest neck size?

Anyone have any advice on this one?

I think the 61 reissue has the smallest one.

I'm assuming you mean width at the nut. I had an early 70's Std which was less than 1 11/16". I think it was a 73. It had a volute also. I got rid of it because it was too narrow at the nut and was slowing me down.

If you are talking about width, I'm sure the 70's models are the smallest. Like jay42 said, I have one myself and the neck width is very narrow down around the nut area.

I will be downsizing soon and this guitar will be on the block if a narrow neck width is what you desire.

New models, 61 and Supreme are very similar.
'60's slim taper.
I think the Angus Signature may be a little smaller yet.

Older guitars, man what a crap shoot....

actually i was talking about depth, not width too much, i was hoping the standards that are coming out now are thin, i can handle wide, but if its too thick like the classic, i cant play them because of my hand size.

thanks for the info

the 61 RI neck is probably what you're looking for. the standards coming out these days have fairly huge necks - which I prefer actually. Likewise for the SG specials.

70s SG necks are fairly narrow and thin as well - you might wanna check out one of those if you can find a piece. I've had the privilege of playing a couple over the past few years - vintage guitars are really hard to come by where I live - and they have really tiny necks! But the body contours just feel so much better, I dunno whether its because they've been smoothed out after years and years of playing, or whether they were made that way.
