Members billybilly Posted September 13, 2014 Members Share Posted September 13, 2014 I don't, then again, I like necks with some girth. With an asymmetrical neck, it feels loose with no support. If anything, I'd be more inclined to like a reverse asymmetrical neck, to make it easier to get my thumb around the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sammyreynolds01 Posted September 13, 2014 Members Share Posted September 13, 2014 My Sterling Sub Silo has a asymmetrical neck. It fits my hand really well and it's not hard to get my thumb around the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Radar-Love Posted September 13, 2014 Members Share Posted September 13, 2014 I recall that the later Ibanez Joe Satriani signature models have Joe's custom neck back contour featuring variable asymmetry down the neck. Then, Lace has (or had?) their Helix models with a calibrated neck twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Floyd Rosenbomb Posted September 13, 2014 Members Share Posted September 13, 2014 I have a Warmoth Wolfgang and it's my favorite neck. Very comfortable in my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members billybilly Posted September 13, 2014 Author Members Share Posted September 13, 2014 I had a feeling I'd be alone with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stormin1155 Posted September 13, 2014 Members Share Posted September 13, 2014 My Les Paul has an asymmetrical neck and I really like it. ...as for Lace's Helix basses.... that seems like an "oh {censored}!" moment at Lace.... "Our last shipment of neck wood wasn't properly cured and now all the necks have a twist in them. Oh what shall we do?? ...I know! Let's call it a calibrated neck twist and charge extra!" (I'm joking of course) Seriously, for most people a twisted neck would be a deal killer, but I've had a couple of guitars with slight twists that played just fine.

Members DeepEnd Posted September 14, 2014 Members Share Posted September 14, 2014 Never played one. I understand the benefit is supposed to be that it fits your hand better. If you've played one, do you find this to be true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sammyreynolds01 Posted September 14, 2014 Members Share Posted September 14, 2014 I think it fits your hand more naturally. I like it but I can see where other people wouldn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Floyd Rosenbomb Posted September 15, 2014 Members Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have a Warmoth Wolfgang and it's my favorite neck. Very comfortable in my hand. Just remembering something about my asymmetrical neck. That neck is also compound radius 10 to 16, which is way more important then the asymmetry in making that a really great neck.
