fat neck super strat?

[RandomFan]

hi guys.

Im really looking for a thicker neck 25.5 scale guitar,i would really like humbuckers at least in the bridge,maple fretboard would be super cool.

the thing is,that as much as i love my SLS3-as it feels amazing for shredding and fast stuff,i find that its not ideal for me in complex chords situation-as i have pretty big fingers.

has anyone played the new EBMM Morse Y2D? it looks super cool but i have no idea about neck dimensions.

p.s. i know there is the PC1,but im not sure im looking for a floyd or have the money to spend on a USA select.

fat necked strat with hum in bridge = TYLER

whats considered a fat neck for a strat? they all almost say "Modern "C""...

[iced_earth]

I've heard the old Jeff Beck sig strats had baseball bat necks. I tried the EBMM Morse Y2D with fixed bridge for a couple minutes last weekend. Thicker than what I'm used to, but definitely not fat.

im not talking like unplayable fat,but just thicker then a regular strat and all.

Ok... I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but here you go...
Just what the doctor ordered


Great playing guitar... 1 5/8 (R2) nut... Fairly thick c backshape. Stock pups are good... Real deal German Floyd... Great Quality, check out the control cavity


Play one... You may like it

the thing is,that i live in Israel,which means i cant really try any cool guitars-such as Kramers.
But i might order one of them Barreta reissues if ill hear that the tone and all is good.

contact Dave Mcnaught

he has a new line of super Strats called the D series

3 models = DC ( classic charvel like) , DJ (jackson dinky like) ,DS ( basic strat shape)
all start under $2000 and are all handmade

he can probably make the neck anyway you want it

Get an old Peavey like a partriot. comfy necks but fat. Really cheap for american made too.

i will def look into mcnaught,i hope a floyd wouldnt be too much of an extra.

i heard the new Kramers have that same Ping floyd anyone know if its true?

my Washburn n4 has a thick neck, but i hear it varies. weird.

If your talking about the new Kramer US made models (84,85,JS and the Imperial I have above), they have a genuine German made Floyd Rose.
The Imports such as the Strikers, and Pacers, not sure who makes the Floyds on those. May be Ping :think:
If your thinking along the lines of the Baretta RI's, they are a great guitar. The neck is a little thinner than the Imperial, but not as thin as a Jackson. Basically in between. I have an 86 Baretta, and the RI's are probably better than the originals More consitant quality anyway

DB- do you find the neck on the reissues to be similar/identical to the originals?

[Dogbone]

Vass, the 84 I can't really say on. Don't have any old Nanna's to compare with But I have heard that it's not real good, and that the actual specs that the 84 was supposed to be made to are on the guitart series 84's which are really good... From what little I have had a chance to play on one, they felt really good, but it's been over 20 years since I've owned a nanna so like I said, kind of hard to compare...
The 85 RI Nanna feels pretty close to my 86 Baretta. Not exact, but really close. Not enough to jump out at ya, and make you think something feels weird I like them, but I prefer the Kramer necks...
The neck on my Imperial feels like a twin to the neck on my 83 Deluxe. Gibson did a great job on that neck.

[RandomFan]

i cant seem to find the USA imperials in the Kramer site?

But in the choice between the Barettas,the 84 seems cooler with the maple fretboard,but the 85 is solid maple which is interesting...
