Question Sweet Neck

[LisaIs]

Do all of the other MM guitars have the same sweet neck profile as the Silhouette? I didn't know if some were more chunky. I prefer the thin profile and would love to get a Albert Lee someday.

I've owned three. Luke, jp & 25th. All felt different. Jp being thinnest, 25th in middle and Luke having the most rounded feel. Have u played a jp? May not suit ur style but they're thin. Try it one day ull buy two like I did lol

To me, the AL has the most comfortable neck. The JP is definitely the thinnest, and the Luke has a distinctive 'V' shape. The Axis has an offset profile (thicker at the top than at the bottom if I remember correctly). I like them all, but if I could have any neck on any guitar, the AL would win every time.

I love the Axis profile with the asymmetrical shape (thicker on the low E side than the high e). 25th/Silo Sp next. Dying to try a AL HH. JPs are too thin for me.

Really Mike!! Interesting coming from the man that does not have an AL Just joking my freind! But found your post very interesting, something up your sleeve

Back on topic if you like the Silo neck you will like the AL, to me similar and nice

It sounds like I just need to get out there and try these. I haven't tried a JP but I bet I would love that neck too. The Silo has the asymmetrical I believe. Whatever it is, it is awesome for my hand.

I haven't come across a neck that feels better then the Silo. Haven't had the chance to play an AL yet. Steve Morse neck felt real comfy too.

Lisa - the MM necks don't appear huge -and this is coming from a guy who doesn't have hands like shovels!!

I love the feel of the AL/SILO/Axis/EVH and to be honest I doin't find a great dealof difference between them.
However the JP and Luke necks have a different feel. I like the JP6 neck even though it's so different.
Search the forum using the words
I want knuckleheads to volunteer
and you should come across a thread I started about neck profiles - but you don't need me to tell you to try them if ya can.

Thanks to all of you! I found all of your input useful. Spud you are apparently as interested in neck profile as I am. It is the #1 thing I look at in a guitar. I love the thread you started on the subject. I plan to spend some more time checking it out.

Ah...Keith my friend.....the ONLY AL I've ever played was the red one you bought from Pete a few years ago (before you got it). I instantly fell in love with the neck. I love the AL concept, I just can't get used to the body shape.....unless it's on a Mr. H - and I'm still waiting for my chance to buy one of those.

I have smaller hands and all EBMM necks are fantastic in my opinion. The narrowest EBMM necks side-to-side are the Luke and Axis. The slimmest neck front-to-back is the JP. I love them both.

My dream neck would be a combination of both: narrow side-to-side a la Luke and slim front-to-back like a JP.

Really, EBMM has no big fat necks.
