What do y'all think ???

Really really cheap for those specs. Finished in satin nitro for £129 delivered! Maybe it's the pics but the frets don't look big enough to be 6100s to me. It'll be fairly slim down near the nut but does chunk up a bit by the 12th fret going by their listed measurements.

Got to be worth a punt at that price. Get Jon or Tom to wave their magic wand over it and it should be fine.

I think that neck is going to be slimmer than you want at the nut.

 

[Sleezy E]

Yup. A bit like stroking a micro-penis.

Let's not get personal now

The thick-necked Gibson R’s I’ve had in my hands felt awful. I just can’t stand D-shaped necks at all.

Now my Warmoth boatneck feels great, and it’s 1” from start to finish. Also my 1988 YJM is quite chunky as well, starts out relatively thin but tapers heavily and is about .96” at the 7th fret and a full 1” by the 10th!

I want the D m8. I want the D.

You'll probably be better going with Warmoth or musikraft if you want a really fat left handed neck.

Telecaster all the way ,even down to the lack of contouring will help to position it on your body more like a Les Paul.

Are you dead set on rosewood fretboard? This isn’t massively chunky but it’s bigger than a modern C.

My parts Strat has an Allparts neck on it. 12" radius, 22 frets but it's not super thin. It's a nice full C shape. .86" at the first fret and .96" at the 12th. Feels great to play and super comfortable.

Kotzen Strat?

If the neck is anything like the Tele...

 

[Frankencat]

This one. Fat Strat setup with '59 LP neck carve. It is for sale and I can convert it to H-H as well.

I think I'm the one member of any guitar forum I've ever been on that appreciates a standard C profile neck. Comfy.

You're not. :)

This just plays into my long-held suspicion that the "fat neck" guys are compensating for something. They probably drive big muscle cars, too.

Bill Nunn was in some good stuff. WEIRD shaped head once he shaved it . Oof! RIP!

Yeah that's a nice size. Warmoth also does a full C "59" profile, which is about .860 at the 1st. I'm tired of thinner necks. My DGT SE is pretty awesome, and that's at .843.
