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.

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.

my style play the neck is Classical , Came from Nylon guitars

i dont use back of neck for my hands , i use for my fingers
so thin Back are better :)

for people like play like kurt or Hendrix or like use full hands on neck , its other way and i agree if you play like that ....

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.
