I see you like to play with your thumb over the top of the neck. Do you have a deep or medium U shaped neck on your parts caster? Or is it easier to play over the top with a modern C shaped neck?
Chris Shofner25th August 2015This partscaster has a vintage style neck with a a modern C shape. I can't say that I have found one (C or U) to be better than the other but I do like a chunkier neck for this style to fill up my hand a bit. The ultra thin profiles found on more shredder friendly guitars just seem a little small for this style in my opinion.
Kristofer Dahl25th August 2015Love it Chris! As for the different neck profiles, I found that they inspire me to do different things. So I can't say I prefer one over the other. When I have been playing a really thin neck for a while, it's awesome to grab my tele (with a soft V) profile - as that will give birth to different ideas.

Totally agree. That's just one reason why you can NEVER have enough guitars.

Hehe that's right!
