I've had a few ESPs over the years and am in the market for another for current recording sessions.
Used a 2010 Standard (Japan) Horizon which had a good sound, but did not like the neck now looking back. It didn't seem very wide. The specs stated it was 25.5" scale with a 12" radius, but I struggled to get all of my fingers on the neck a lot as if the actual width of the neck was smaller.
I made the jump to M-II last time around, and the neck felt wider despite same scale and radius as the Horizon. The 95' from Japan actually played a little faster than the 2021 from USA... something about the Japan neck was a little thinner and faster (I am guessing tge thickness).
Anyhow, anyone able to pinpoint exactly what it is that is different between the Horizon and M necks? Of course the Horizon is NTB, but the neck width felt more narrow.
With thay said, were there any years where the M neck felt "small" like the aforementioned Horizon?
