I like to bend them a lot, and not all can keep up with that You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I tried an Ibanez Prestige for a while, the RG3250, wow was that crazy thin. I think it's one of the most important parts of the guitar you play.... By the way that V shape is crazy!

It's so comfortable, That V one is crazy yeah, who knows maybe is great, To me this makes a great difference, I played a Schecter that had a modern flat oval neck and it really didn't feel good to me You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

My tyler has a '59 neck which is a wide and big C shape, really comfortable (I could probably do with it being a little thinner) The neck on my Burny is modeled after the 1960 Les Paul and that is really nice You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I tried lots of guitars and I think that the PRS neck is the perfect balance. The one I have on the Paul Allender is a wee bit comfier than the one on the Custom 24 another fact that bothers me a little with both necks from the Ibanez MMM and the PRS Custom 24 is the finish, which almost always causes some sort of irritation on my skin between my thumb and index finger (you know, that fold of skin which is almost always in touch with the guitar neck) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I have tried PRS guitars which I didn't like, great guitar but just did not fit me. I have tried everything to fird "the Guitar" for me and still am looking. I am in the progress of buying and trying G & L guitar. I have found my favorite acoustic guitar a 1965 goya/1970's Morris. My jazz guitar is also a 1960's single pickup goya. but I struggling to find a solid body guitar..the search goes on and I'm have a blast looking, and trying. I have a wish list that I'm looking for a 60's early 70's Guild F 50, a japanese vintage Ibanez Talman and a solid body guitar. thanks, Skip Goya PS the search will never end You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

They are very thin and narrow, but they are not shaped like Ibanez Wizard which I don't like that much. They have a "feeling" of a bit more meat to them than wizard altough the measures are as thin? Vandenbergs are excellent quality and the standard series can be found quite cheap. They have the ultimate neck for speedy play. Somehow every Vandenberg I've tried also have very low action without buzz, which is a testimony of quality... I would urge everyone to try one out if you get the chance!
