For me Ibanez 550 has the most comfortable neck.

You might be surprised, I have quite small hands and thin necks give me trouble, I get hand cramp really quickly, whilst my Tyler Burning water has a pretty thick '59 neck .845" at the 1st fret .975" at the 12th fret, and is really comfortable

It's really whatever you are comfortable with. I need a medium thickness neck rather than a straight up thin neck.

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Mar 26 2013, 04:24 AM)  Just awesome - here's what I'd do: - go to your local music store and try any of the PRS SE models - they are a great investment in respect to the price/ quality proportion and the necks fit in the zone that you'd need. - get a used PRS on ebay - a bit risky because you don't know how the guitar feels in your hand if you haven't tried it already. Let me know what you think Cosmin This is the best advice as everyone is different. I myself have owned a ton of guitars, baseball bat necks to razor blade thin necks. 24.75" -to- 26.5" Considering I couldn't sweep back when I owned the baseball bat necks I can use any of them as long as the action isn't to crazy high. It really is a person to person preference. I've traded guitars in that people would kill to own just because it didn't feel like it was "me". Also I don't think I have that big of hands, roughly a max of 3 inches long. -------------------- Guitars:

I agree with Cosmin about PRS SE guitars. The other guitarist in my band has the tremonti model, it's a very good guitars, very comfortable and as a thing neck. Go to a store and try one of those guitars!

Since your just looking to find you, I will try to cut off my wasted tons of cash to find my personal extension.
Try: Gibson Les Paul Studio - Fat neck but a 24.75" scale. Schecter/ESP-LTD - They all have roughly the same necks and the 25.5" scale. I believe both those guitars are from the same factory. Dean Dimebag series - Some of them have a weird V like neck which people enjoy or if possible an older one almost feels like a D neck. PRS SE Paul Allender - Feels a bit like the order Dimebag Deans. Jackson Dinky or Nino Series - Both are very well loved guitars. Ibanez S series - Shred neck all the way, the thinnest I've listed so far. I would say give all those a try, after that maybe repost in here with something like. I liked this guitar for this, that guitar for that. Get a good pro/con going on. After that maybe look at to what kind of bridge you enjoy the most. Because they all have a different feeling. I personally hate setting up guitars with trems as they take more time, but I love how close they are to the body. Then next is strings, you may actually like a tighter string because it helps ring out the sweeps since you have to play harder and has less slack. (I'm in this boat atm on my new guitar actually). As for scale length the picture is a 25.5" vs a 26.5" if you notice there isn't a whole lot of change in them other than around the 4th fret they start to gain a hair bit of size. Which most of the time the 24.75" scales are just a 22 fret guitar instead of 24 fret.  -------------------- Guitars:
