jackson necks : is it my impression

[skarhead]

so :
is it only my impression ( i played tested those guitars but not one after other ) :

is there a difference between those necks :

sl3 soloist neck : is like thinner more ibanez style

dxmg : medium width

rr5 : wide and extremely comfortable [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

i'm asking because basically want a superstrat with a floyd but with an rr neck [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
is it possible . aa and neck through of course [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Was is only my impression caused with the long time pause between testing those models ?

btw is the kv4 a new model ? because it has it all : floyd , neck through [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

peace and thanx for ya help

Re: jackson necks : is it my impression

The KV4 model has been discontinued a few years ago.

I thought the DXMG as it says on the jackson site is thicker than the DK-2 and SL's?

Re: jackson necks : is it my impression

ok so finnally is that what i've said true ?

because : no shop in my country has so much jacksons [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] .

basically is the sl3 neck thinner or thicker than the dxmg's ? and is it thinner or thicker than the rr5 rhoads neck ?.

it would be very helpful for me [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: jackson necks : is it my impression

Isn't this what you can find as "neck dimensions" in the model specs at www.jacksonguitars.com?

Re: jackson necks : is it my impression

The Dinky (bolt-on) necks should all be about the same: thin, but not as thin as an Ibanez Wizard neck. I believe the Stealth necks were actually thinner and closer to the Wizards. The Soloist (neck-thru) should be a little thicker, especially the USA ones, but the speed necks I believe are thicker at the lower frets and get thinner higher up the neck.

Re: jackson necks : is it my impression

I've played both an SL3 and an RR5 pretty recently, and I found their necks to be almost identical. I wonder if the Japanese factory was using the same neck blanks for the RR5 and SL4 while the latter was still in production?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">it's not the thinest thats for sure but it is pretty nice , the thinest Jackson necks I've ever played were the imports from the 94/95 catalog stuff , those necks were bloody thin and played like a dream ! light years thiner from the neck thru USA stuff of today or then ! //Steve
