  • fat neck on an sl2h

    I just picked up a mint sl2h. But very shocked to find it has
    A fat neck. All my other sl2h, and sl2mahq has a much thinner
    Neck. Any reason for this? I am going to trade for a thinner one...
    What a shame. Killer red with black hardware!

    There's always some variation, but it shouldn't be 'fat' as such. That said, my neon pink Custom Select was delivered with a HUGE neck (bigger than a PC1) and had to go back to be shaved down - fortunately it was an oiled neck so not a huge job..

      It's pretty chunky. Fatter than my 50's les Paul neck..BTW I don't play because of the fat neck

        check the serial # my 2001 SL2H has a much fatter neck than any other soloist I've ever played. (not Les Paul fat but definitely chunkier than any other Soloist I've ever played)
        If this is our perdition, will you walk with me?

                My 03 Bengal has a fat neck as well, which none of my other soloists do. Great sounding guitar though. Maybe more meat on the neck has something to do with that?

                  My 2011 has a chunky neck as compared to my 2005, not 50s LP fat though.
                  The 2011 neck stays flat year around, while the 05 need a truss adjustment every once and a while

                    My sl2-mahq is chunky too. My white sl2h is thin and fast.
                    One of my dk1's neck is chunky too.

                    Love to trade it for a thinner neck!

                            Hey IronJim still trying,lol. Is there any in between necks on these? I don't like super thin or super thick, right in the middle.
                            Pics would be cool, let's see em!

                              I had an SL2 that was trans green and had a fat neck. from what I could tell, the clear on this trans was layed on very thick and was the reason for the neck being so fat. JM2C
