Guitar with thinner neck than ASS?

[kevdog]

I have an Axis Super Sport and really love it. Does Ernie Ball make another guitar with a thinner neck than the ASS? I would like a similar feeling neck and maple fretboard, just thinner. Any advice is appreciated?

well the Y2d and silo special have thinner necks for sure, even the Albert Lee is slightly thinner.

Yup I'd go wit R2 on this - the AL is not a chunky neck at all. You'd love it !

the AL really is the greatest neck. greatest sound. greatest feel. what a guitar!! Someone calm me down.....

I believe the JP is thinner is well...

If you need to sell that Burnt Apple Luke, let me know.



Seriously, I'm thinking I've gotta get a Luke, and I'm thinking Ruby BFR. If it's going to be a standard one, it's probably going to be Candy Red unless I can find a sweet sparkle.

What is a Y2D?

What is a Y2D?

Its the modified Steve Morse model introduce to celebrate Steve's 20 year association with EBMM. Do a search and you'll got tons of info about it.

 

[robelinda2]

i guess theres no definitive source of info about the Y2D, even on the EB site itself! try this link, has info and cool videos!!!

[kevdog]

Yes, it is really nice, I may have found my new guitar!

Colin -

Is that yours?!? Holy Hannah!!!! That is just stunning. That guitar is just WAAAYYYYYY too pretty for me to own - gorgeous!!!


Hey Rob - I know what you mean about the AL - I've owned EVHs, Axii, JPs and I've played plenty of Lukes and Silos. THEN, I bought the AL on faith from what I'd read (Thank you Spud, Mbgreene, and all loyaly members of the ALOC!), and it was the best gear decision I ever made. I absolutley love the AL - it's just smokin'! I can't wait to someday add an MM90 version. Oh yeah. Once you have Albert Fever, it's got ya'!!!

 

[robelinda2]

that Y2D pic is from Guitar Player mag a few months back, great review to go with it too!

Norrin- I have AL fever for sure, might have a MM90 AL on the way soon.............just the best guitars.

Okay, let me ask a follow up question to let you know what I'm looking for. Hopefully EB makes a guitar that fits my bill...

I really like my ASS but there's two things I wish were different:
1) slightly thinner neck
2) tabered body for my right arm, right now its just rubbing against the edge

That being said, here's also what I would like (in an ideal world!):

Maple fretboard
Dual humbuckers
Single toggle switch for the pickups

Based on what I'm asking for, does anyone know of a model that fits all of these qualifications? If not, which ones come close and what would they be missing?

The Petrucci fits the bill except that it only comes with a rosewood fingerboard.

Try an Ibanez Wizard II neck. Those necks are so thin THEY SUCK.
