EB Necks - once and for all!

[Pktaske]

Can someone map out the shape and nut width of the EB guitar necks? To me, this is the most important aspect of any guitar. Sadly, I picked up my OLP which had been neglected for over a year since I got my Axis and noticed I actually was able to play a bit cleaner and faster.. I've attributed this to the slighty wider neck so I'm looking for a real Ball now that would fit the bill (this probably means giving up the beautiful Axis body shape and trans-color that I love).

thanks...

Hope this photo and info helps people to understand the profile and shape of the neck.

SWEET Beejuz!

So when's the Blue Pearl going on the selling block?

 

[beej]

I've always wanted a trans pink ... that one is crazy beautiful! (Thanks again Fred!)

I'm gonna sit on both for a short while and play 'em. I'm pretty sure I'll put the blue out for sale soon, but just want to A/B them for a while and see!

(And ... in my normal fashion I'm thinking about routing out the back cavity for a battery compartment and putting in a second hand silent circuit.)

Hey Lonney- I'll start another thread about hooking up at NAMM! I don't have a hotel or anything booked yet but I'd love to meet up

Fred's got some splainin' to do.

As CIC ALOC I believe I deserve the right of first refusal for all AL's being considered for sale

Great score beej trans pink is a classic in the world of AL
