Members metallica_00 Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Don't care about construction, but I like playing on larger necks and think they add a bit of resonance over a skinny neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wmcjhi Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I like neckthrough, anything from 50s to 60s les paul neck (NOT jackson/ibanez ultra-thins), and am pretty agreeable on fretboard radius. That said, I've got a custom being built right now with neckthrough, Jumbo Stainless frets, Vintage Charvel profile, 430mm (slightly >16") radius. Yea, it's for shreddy stuff.

Members placeboemotion Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 given that nobody picks up on Scarlet J. ... I like glued neck for sound. Shape-wise I am very flexible. I have a Gibson SG Classic that has a lot of mass and is too fat for some and i like to play it just as much as my Goddess SG which has a much thinner 60s style neck. Having said that, for pure feel three of my bolt-ons immediately jump to mind. 1) a Reverend (Charger 290, import), 2) A Blade delta, 3) An ESP "The Hybrid" all are maple necks and feel as if I never had played anything else ...

Members JC777 Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Modern C, Don't mind a soft V. 10-12" Radius It makes no difference to me how it's attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members inkblot Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I like fat necks that are wide at the nut. The joint doesn't matter much, but my favorite guitar designs have set necks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Welladjusted Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 Most Fender necks. I prefer bolt-on, but I'm not super picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members songsforbears Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 She will be mine someday.I don't care about construction. I like the fattest necks possible. I find the 7.25" radius to be a little on the round side, so 9.5" or greater, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members surfbro Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 1 3/4 nut width, modern C shape, highest possible radius (16 and up), Dunlop 6100 jumbo frets. Don't care how it's attached either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Roy Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 '60s Ric necks (I have two ). Thin thin thin all the way along the neck (probably why they used 2 truss rods). Narrow nut, like a '68 tele but then it stays narrow so that it's 1/4 inch narrower at the 12th fret than that same tele. 7.25 radius neck thru, maple with a finished rosewood fretboard and vintage frets.

Members BAXANDALL Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'm pretty much in love with the 60's slim taper Gibby glued style. However I do really like my Carvin neck through. My Hill is very similar to the 60's style slim taper of the Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dattebayo1 Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I don't really have a favourite neck profile.I do however remember playing a 1963 SG junior that just blew me away, one of the most comfortable guitars i've eer played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 too skinny? careful, this is sacred ground you're walkin' on. I think she's perfect and was madly in love. Definitely a classic beauty, but I can't remember a longer more slender neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PR_Tom Posted May 28, 2008 Members Share Posted May 28, 2008 I dont know the profile, but I had an original Ibanez Roadstar with a maple neck and I just had to sell it because my hand would cramp SUPER bad after playing it awhile Anyone have spec on that neck? That was a shame as it was really a sweet looking guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
