Big Poppa - Any thought to offering "fat, wide" option on necks?

Just wondering if you've thought of providing an even chunkier neck for either the Axis or Silo lines? If not a width increase (I imagine that would throw off the pickup & bridge widths as well) then how about a thickness (finger to thumb) increase?

There's an Eminence ad in the new Guitar World with Blues Saraceno prominentlly holding a Flamed 20th Silo.

Just wondering if thats a stock or custom neck job, since he reportedly has thick necks on his custom AL?

custom neck, I believe the term once used was baseball bat

Not sure of the month, but it just arrived yesterday. Has the picture of *cough* some guy with a beat up red & white striped guitar on the cover *cough*

the ad, for speakers, is in the front few pages, but the dominant image is Blues sittng and holding the 20th.

Michael, you got neighbors man??? I'm just busting you. I went to the GW website, but no luck on the picture.

Looks like I'll have to part with what little $ I have to pick up a copy. 3 Hendrix tabs, sweet.

Does anyone else find it ironic that "thindave" is asking about a "fat" neck?

Back to forum appropriate material... I'll have to check the ad on Friday, it would be cool to see an ad with a 20th!

edit- cant stop looking at the pic, best birdseye/flame ive seen on a 20th silo, very figured. wish i was an endorsed artist!
