Your Fave Guitar Necks?
Who do u think makes the thinnest most playable guitar necks and why? I think its got to be the ibanez wizard necks because their so comfortable.

My hands are big, Wizards and Wizard IIs feel like I'm holding a knife. I like Jackson necks...

I'd have to say the neck on my Ibanez ex series is good..
But I like the maple fretboard and neck on my rg as well...

I like Jacksons, but they feel a tiny bit too thin. S standard Strat neck feels a tad too fat, but really good usually. The best thing I've felt so far is the neck of an ESP M252.

Ibanez, Jackon, and B.C. Richs all have great necks.

i love the neck of my ibanez RG, i just wish it was just a tad thicker around frets 1-4, for mroe comfortable barre chords. but they feel pretty comfortable after fret 4 though.
i also like the ibanez js1000, ibanez jem, EBMM Petrucci, and EBMM Luke. i like ibanez's and EBMM's  |

my gibson les paul special's neck is great. it's not the huge chunky kind that most les pauls have.. it's the slim 60s taper, so its pretty quick. the satin (non-lacquer) finish is also very smooth and makes it even quicker. it's a joy to play on.

IM recently loved ESP and Ibanez necks, but today I played a 24fret neck thru Lado guitar, dates back to about '89 a bladed humbucker in the bridge and blade coil in the neck, but an absolutly amazing guitar. Soon to be mine...

I like the neck on my dime333. I have big gorilla hands, so the wizard necks are a pain in the ass to play. I also like the neck on my ltd m-255. It still feels thin to me, but not so much as an rg. I like my necks a little thicker than most people though.

Some Ibanez necks are quite good but the neck on my Squier Strat is very thin too. It is about 2cm at the widest point and extremely comfortable, the only problem is that is has only 21 frets.

The neck on my jacksons Warrior has to be the the most comfortable i've ever played, i've played a few ibanez Guitars whether the necks were wizards are not, they didn't compare to my jackson in the slightest.
Then again i soppose it's all a matter of preferance.

thats true, it depends on what kind of jackson too, I used to have a korean Dinky, but I prefer my Wizzard I neck on my '89 RG....
Squier Strat necks thin?? yeah, and they play like ass... they're not fast at all IMO, the main problem is though, that the neck is mounted to a squier...

I hate squires. I played one the other day at guitar center. Your fingers feel like they stick to the damn fretboard.. And the overall tone and crunch didn't sound to hot to me. I rather play a Fender than that.

Yeah. The tone is shitty and not at all suitable for anything other than a practice guitar. The fact that I've lowered the strings so that they are just above fret buzz height probably adds to the ease of playing with it though. I still manage to play around 16 notes per second alternate picking on it and about 18 nps sweeping, mind you I've only been playing for 15 months, so you can still get descent speed from it. |
