Tele build countdown...

[fender3x]

My PB tele necks are about 0.86 inch (2.2 cm) from the 1st to 12th fret. NOTE - I do not have calipers to measure accurately.

I have not considered changing the profile before! If you really like the Thin style then give it a go. I like the idea of trying a non-symmetrical neck.

I have a feeling that if I carve it, it may be asymmetrical whether I intend it or not. About the closest I'll ever get to SRV ;-)

I'd probably try to get it a little thinner, although .86 thinner than what I thought mine was. Will measure again. I may also go to Sam Ash and play a few necks to see what I like. The PB neck is thicker but also a bit narrower at the nut than my Warmoth...I have read that may make a difference in how it feels. It's funny how little attention I paid to such things until I started building.

Totally agree. I was blissfully unaware of scale length, neck radius, string spacing, nut width, pole spacing, vintage circuits blah blah blah. Now, I'm totally aware that I still have a lot to learn!
