NGD: Chibson "Spectre" Les More Black Beauty Custom!

Session 5 said:
I found out when trying different guitars that i like a slim neck, My B.C.Rich has a slim neck but didn't realize until after playing for hrs at a time and started getting pain in my hand. The neck is shaped different than my Godin guitars, they are so comfortable. This is something I will really be looking hard at when I buy my next guitar. Yes the manufacturers use different shape necks on their guitars, its finding the one that's right for you. Myself I don't have large hands the Godins have what they call an ergo neck.

I had to design a neck from scratch. Nothing I could buy felt "right" in my hands...

It's good to MEASURE a comfortble neck so you KNOW what you are looking for...
 
Nice work your a talented guy. I will remember your words on this article. To me that's the difference having a neck that is comfortable, it just makes ones playing ability so much better. Thanks for sharing.
