Neck shape of Reflex.

[Megadeth79]

Can you please compare the neck shape of Reflex (the thickness the 1st and 12th fret e.g) to the neck of Axis? I used to have the Axis but I don't have the oppotunity to test the Reflex. Thanks in advance.

Feels way different to me. (I have an Axis and Axis SS). I can't say that the reflex feels like any other Musicman guitar to me. I have another brand guitar that feels similar (from Canada) but now as good.

i think (not sure) it has a silhouette type neck.
i think i read that somewhere.

but ya, i have a reflex and an axis ss and the necks are not similar

Thanks for the reply guys. But in what way is it different? The axis neck was too small for my hands.

It's got the neck profile from a Silhouette Special, but a 12" radius rather than a 10" radius.

It feels a little larger, it's a bit wider at the heel, and the carve is symmetrical (rather than asymmetrical on the Axis).

I tried several of them at NAMM and agree with the Beej.
Awesome guitars.

I haven't had the chance to check out a Reflex as of yet, how does this description match up with a 25th Anniv neck? (Believe it or not, the last new EBMM offering I played was the 25th )

*sorry for the minor hijack Megadeth79---
