rollo, I have two measurments that might be of somhelp. the entire neck, from top of peg head to head of banjo should measure 26.5 in. The peg head,(top end of banjo with the pegs), itself is 5.5 in to beggining of neck (string board). from top of neck(under peg head) to 5th strig peg is 7.5 in. from 5th strig peg to head of banjo is 13.5 in. IMPORTANT: Don't forget, where the peg head conects to the neck, you'll need to have angled aprox. 15 deg. angle. Also, the neck width should start 1.5 in, and end at 2 in at head. Banjo w/head will most likely be roughly 36in depending on head type. Good luck, polar bear
