I would think if it were made for someone that they wanted the neck their way. Still a great snag and you can always swap the neck if needed.Something I discovered. The neck carve is thicker and more rounded on this one than on the Cherry Punch. Very noticeable to me. Along with the rest of the goodness in this one the Cherry Punch was sent back. I’m one happy AL owner.
