6 String Dinky COW

[torquemada]

I`m very interested in this guitar, does it have a thin or a thick neck, in terms of wood and builing quality how do you compare it to a USA Jackson.

Our member Widowmaker has commented the neck profile a bit in a couple of his threads. See here:

Re: 6 String Dinky COW

I can`t find any info on the kind of neck the 6 string COW has, is it a speed neck or is it a standard neck like a Soloist?

I played one. The neck was painted!! YUCK!! Not impressed in the least - not for that price anyway. Even used prices on those things are pretty steep for what you get. The neck has a somewhat thinner, more rounded profile than the DK-2, but not Soloist thin. More like a Model Series Charvel in shape. Not my favorite.

Re: 6 String Dinky COW

I got my DK6 last week and was quite surprised. Compared to my DKMGT the neck on the DK6 is quite a bit thicker, and more rounded. Painted, yes. I like it, but it feels quite different than other import necks, so you should try one out first to see if you like that.

The profile very much reminds me of a USA Steinberger GT I played in a store once.

As to wood and build quality on the DK6, it is excellent. I've inspected it closely and just couldn't find a flaw. With the ebony fretboard (no inlays, so no plastic anywhere!) it has a great feel and look.

It feels to me, that my soloists necks are a tad thicker than a Dinky neck, and if it was thinner than a dinky, not as a thin as a soloist...where does it fall?
