People who bitch about Jackson neck's thinness

[sakeido]

I hate Ibanez necks, way too small, sure you can play fast on them, but they are not comfortable at all for me. Jacksons, though, are the best compromise. Thin, speedy, and comfortable at the same time.

How ironic that one guy that plays Ibanez told me that he doesn`t like
Jackson necks because they are to thin...

Hehe

hmm my rr3 neck feels much more comfortable and thicker than my ibanez

[Carbophos]

it's anathomy thing

and as was said above profile is more important tnan thickness

Relating to measurements only Jackson "standard" (say Soloist) profile compared to "speed" (say KV) profile is just 0.15" difference. It's just G string thickness difference, a couple of sandpaprer strokes... But the feel really differs, because of PROFILE.

Wtf?! I never heard on that profile before! The profile that thinks for you

:ROTF: :ROTF: WTF....I need to proof read my stuff more....yeah a thinker. neck....ummm I meant thicker

I still don't see what people are calling "thin" - as compared to what, a bus?

Try a JTX neck - THAT'S thin.

Wasn't someone always griping about how thin the Fusion necks were? Those are not "thin" IMO. Those are medium-thickness (going from Les Paul as thick to JEM as thin).

The neck on my War Angel is a bit thicker than a Fusion, and is what I consider to be on the thick side. The WR7 profile is the same but because of the wider neck, it feels thinner.

However, if we're talking about the JCF01 Rhoads - THAT is thick. IIRC someone said it was the same as a Firebird Pro neck?

I do agree that radius has a lot to do with it - the profile of the Phil Collen Archtop Pro I had was very similar to the profile of the Dinky Reverse (offset dots) neck I had, but the radius was flatter on the Collen (or at least seemed like it).

i just tried DK2M, i never thought i would like a jackson neck, but i fell in love after 5 min. of playing with that beast. i guess im not used to the 25.5 scale either i was used to the 24.75. but damn that thing was smooth as a BABY"S ASS

Fusion necks are thin. DK2(M) necks are medium.

Who's bitching about the neck size? One of the reasons for liking Jacksons are the thin shredder necks.

The reason for different necks is because people have different size hands. No one profile is the "right" size.

[Newc]

Ever measure an early-90s Fusion neck? Same as the Dinky necks that came right behind them. The smaller scale made them feel thinner, as well as created the illusion (for me, anyway) that the nut width was smaller.

The DK2M neck profile is what I consider thick, compared to older Jackson import necks, yet I've seen people post here calling them thin.

[Davey]

i need a dk2m!!

but will only take on in reverse headstock :P

i love my fusion neck, but feel that sometimes it could be a touch thicker.

[quiksilver]

Thin & wide, my friends. That's where it's at. Whether Jackson or Ibanez, I like 'em thin & wide. My favorite neck is the Super Wizard on my RG520QS.

No bitching here--I'll just buy more Gibsons and Hamers. Fuck you too!

Hehehe :ROTF: Or you can just buy the Jackson Mark Morton signature model like I am real soon. A nice fat neck... even bigger than the Phil Collen model.

[VEGETATHEPUPPET]

Jackson necks rules...

on my DR7 is really good..
