TalismanRich Posted March 3 Posted March 3 I don't have massive long fingers. A thinner neck works well for me. But it's not just the size or thickness but the shape. It's one reason that I don't even look at PRS guitars. The neck shape, especially the SE versions are actually painful, especially for my thumb. My Vint 54 Strat has a beefy neck, but it's rounded which helps.
ElChoad Posted March 4 Posted March 4 I can't see any reason to have one. There is nothing it offers that I see as an improvement. Thin neck, weight relief, modern wiring, and coil splitting? Meh. And if they are the same pickups that come in the Custom Cores, I am ambivalent about them. They didn't really impress me.
Ross Posted March 4 Posted March 4 I bought one and the neck is not that thin. It feels about the same as my PRS wide fat neck.
