I agree with the Natural or lightly-stained look. That guitar is beautiful, I just personally wasn't digging on the neon green. I didn't want to say anything since it is your choice, but I think you should really consider it with that guitar.

I've been thinking about a neck through shortscale Alembic Skylark all day. That would be pretty sexy.

What, so the thinner the neck the better it plays now? I love my thin Jag-Stang neck, but I played a Tele a couple weeks back which was much chunkier and I had just as much luck playing it. It's possibly even more comfortable to have a neck that really fills out your hand. I guess it all depends on how big your hands are.

Some people think so, it's up to personal taste.

Fix'd.

Like I said, I love the way I can feel in control of my skinny Jag-Stang neck, but I've played thick Telecaster necks that stick out much more and I can only just get my hands around them, but I still find those comfortable and in many ways they're just as good. One of the best necks I played was the neck on a Telecaster Deluxe, it's just the right size and the fretboard was a beautiful glossy maple, playing one of those makes you realise why Mike's so bitchy all the time, he's just pissed that he can't be playing his awesome guitar.

I don't understand what you mean, but you at least tried to explain why you like thin necks, so that's fair enough. How long until you get this thing?

I am not bitchy all the time. Only at my time of the month.

But you're right in that the neck on the Telecaster Deluxe (whatever it is - C profile?) does feel wonderful. However I like the way my Jazzmaster and acoustic necks feel too - it's weird. I don't think I have a type i like - just some guitars I love.
