Greetings Nation,
Does anyone know where I can get a fat back neck template? Most internet searches come up with ones that are no longer listed for sale. Thanks in advance!

I find that the C-D shape or the amount of shoulder the neck has, makes just as much difference, or more, than the thickness.
More neck measurements from various guitars.

"Large C - 1st Fret = .875" / 12th Fret = .950"
'59 C - 1st Fret = .790" / 12th Fret = .970""
Those two really bother me. The 59 C is certainly not correct, Should be more like .870-.890 on average. The large C, as in 1958 Les Paul generally would be larger that the .875 listed. The 1960 Les Paul definitely was slimmer.

Are you referring to the vintage Fender Deep U / Warmoth Fatback style neck? You’re looking for a Neck Carving Template right? Here’s one for a Fender 52’ U style on Etsy:
