Members BillyCorgan Posted April 25, 2005 Members Share Posted April 25, 2005 PRS Standard 24. Wide Thin neck. Warm tones. Insanely versatile. Does everything from blues to death metal perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dot-dot-dot Posted April 25, 2005 Members Share Posted April 25, 2005 For me, the most comfy guitars I've tried have been my Ibanez Talman and MMM1. Both have slim but not skinny necks with a flattish back and a light finish, and neither is particularly heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dougy Posted April 25, 2005 Members Share Posted April 25, 2005 I've got a mid-80s Kramer Focus 2000 with a late 80s HM Squier neck. It's definately my favourite... and it has a Buzz Lightyear tone control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Milkman1 Posted April 25, 2005 Members Share Posted April 25, 2005 Speaking specifically to playability, the Ibanez Wizard necks are the best I have ever played. Naturally it comes down to personal taste, but I have been playing for more than thirty years and gigging for more than twenty five and in that time have owned MANY guitars including all the big ones. The Ibanez is the one I prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kable Posted April 25, 2005 Members Share Posted April 25, 2005 Fender Jazzmaster. Nice 60's C neck. The body shape is very comfortable, doesn't look too small on my 6'4" profile, and it stands out from all the other Fender and Gibson shapes out there. The neck pickup tone is about as good as electric guitar sounds get imho, the mid position sound can't be found anywhere else, the tremolo works perfectly, and the behind the bridge sounds open up even more possibilities. Perhaps not the most "versatile" guitar around, but it's close, and works for everything I personally care about doing. Definitely a pain in the ass to setup though, but they're worth it. The Jags would probably get my vote if it weren't for the shorter scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jerry_picker Posted April 25, 2005 Members Share Posted April 25, 2005 Any one of those guitars in the list could play like stool with a lousy set-up. Many guitars not on your list could play like butter with the right set-up. My vote overall: Tom Anderson's creations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted April 25, 2005 Members Share Posted April 25, 2005 Another vote for any decent guitar properly set up. I'd rule out Les Pauls though because of the limited upper fret access. Flying Vs should be on your list. At least the one I have is effortless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members _pete_ Posted April 25, 2005 Members Share Posted April 25, 2005 Back around 1978 or so I had this 1972 Gibson SG Proffessional. It was the one with P-90's and the guitar was top routed for the controls. It also had a bigsby. It was maybe the butt ugliest Sg ever built but that thing had a neck that was made in heaven. The action was so low that you could barely slip a piece of paper between the strings and frets and there was no fret buzz whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Beckman Posted April 25, 2005 Members Share Posted April 25, 2005 This is a tough one. I would have to agree that any model is the best that is set up for you. But, I have to say, for me, not Fender. I have never found a Fender that plays well. They sound fantastic, that is why I buy them, but they play for {censored}. Ibanez and PRS Play great. People don't seem to like Ibanez, but they are so easy to play. Les Pauls are great, as well as the Flying V, both are tough when sitting though.
