Chicc

Not with a D though

Normally I like having a D in my hands but prefer a C at my fingertips.

My favorite neck so far has been my Schecter Reaper 6 with an ultra thin C, which is a bit thinner than a wizard so I went with that. @NowYou'rePlayingWithPower has a good point though regarding setup and frets affecting things. I found a good electric guitar shop locally, and just about everything I've played there has felt great regardless of what it is or the price point. Not "this is perfect" levels necessarily, but "I have no problem with this."

Skinny necks like Wizards and the Jackson SL profile give me hand cramps, even with the jumbo’s. For current super Strats I dig the EVH Frankie and Kramer Baretta necks.

I left material open. I don't really care there.
'59 fattty for toan.

What's weird is I get that cramping from my Charvels that everyone has been talking up. I'm wondering if it's just the overall positioning of the neck with my reach and whatnot. I love my Baretta's neck, though. I'm already halfway through the frets Most of my multiscales are pretty wide, but super comfy and relaxed.

Yeah, strong shoulders belong on a lifeguard, not a guitar neck.

Bump if anyone wants to vote.
Will be posting the final neck options tomorrow and then we'll get onto bridge options, pickups, control layout, finish, etc...
The headstock design and bridge selection will pretty much seal the deal on which of the vendors I will be going with.
As some offer options others don't.

Poll is closed. Looks like our baby is going to be rocking a Fender Standard C neck carve with stainless jumbo frets!
