I got to sample a Reflex today (finally!).
Was it my imagination, or does the Reflex neck have a more hand filling neck C-shape than the Axis neck?

It's not your imagination at all, they are definitely different but equally comfy. The reflex does feel like a c shaped neck not like the axis asymmetric neck. Its more like the silhouette I believe. Just a great guitar.

Dave,

I totally agree.Especially with the 'comfy' part. That's why I keep going back n forth about selling the Purple on.

They are quite different indeed. My 25th and Silo Special feel VERY similar (pretty much identical in feel), but both are quite different from my Axis. All are great though, and I like the change in feel when I switch guitars. Helps me to play different licks etc. Some gigs when I catch myself repeating a few licks I'll switch guitars and that usually cures it.

You should trade your Reflex for my natural Axis. I still have 2 other guitars with that Axis neck and want to change things up and the guitar market isn't at all good right now for selling......

Yup the reflex has the same profile as the S.S. except with a 12inch radius. Truth is I love that 12inch radius and wish my S.S. has it. I got along great with the neck on my A.S.S but the more I think of it the more I bet the 12inch would have been great there too
