  • 750XL vs 650XL neck profile?

    Does anybody have or has played both and can tell me how the neck's thickness and profile compare between these two guitars? I am considering selling my 650XL to fund the purchase of a 750XL as I prefer the shorter scale. I also like the thinner neck that flattens on the back of the Fusion series better than the thicker rounder profile of the 650XL. If the profiles are the same between the 650 and 750 I'm not sure I want to give up my 650 just for the shorter scale. Even though I rarely play it 'cause I mostly play my Fusions. I mostly want a neck-thru/ set neck that feels like the Fusions.

    I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.

        I'll most likely just keep the 650. That way I have a neck thru 25.5" scale guitar. Since I recently bought that LTD '87 reissue Eclipse I have a 24.75" scale neck trough.

            Thanks for the measurements. That helps a lot. That's pretty close to my 650. It's 20.24mm @ 1st, 20.5mm @ 3rd and 23.8mm @ 12th fret.

                They dont come up that often. lately a few have been in reverb for somewhat high prices.

                      That's what has created this delima. There is a red metallic/ magenta one on there. To me it's priced high at $1900 as it's got some defects but if they drop the price enough I will be tempted to pick it up and sell my 650. There is that trans blue, but I like the red one. There is another red one, but they want way too much to me.

                              Keep the 750XL, sell a kidney, and buy the 650XL
