Hi

Can't seem to find any neck depth/ thickness info on the Web for a 12 string neck, loads on widths

Looking for thickness with fretboard at 1st and 12th frets really

Any help would be great thanks

If we are talking about the thickness of the neck, then yes, the same as a 6 string. If you mean width of the neck then I would say 1-13/16 to 1-7/8 at the nut, and 2-5/16 pin spacing at the bridge.
