These all feel different and these are all solid aluminum. I think they are all really well made can't go wrong there, seriously they are all high end pieces. I like the feel of the Alef the best it's soft D/C shape. The Aluminati not pictured here is hollow and has a fretboard and they do feel more normal and is much lighter about the same as a wood neck, they are my favorite though I really like the solid necks as well.loveinathens wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 7:41 pmHow would you compare the RGI to the Aluminati? I'm still on the fence since I keep getting sidetracked financially. The Robot Graves stuff appeals to me aesthetically (really hung up on the TB/EGC look), but I do think the Aluminati specs seem better on paper. Was thinking of getting an EGC at first but I've heard bad things from a bunch of touring bands about the consistency of their service.
No problem there is not a lot of info available. All these necks are relatively thin, I don't have measurements but it's a thin D shape and I would say a smooth but aggressive D shape. The Alef is in between kind off a C/D shape also really smooth and the EGC is more of a thin Fender C shape.loveinathens wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 8:02 pmSorry I keep spamming you with questions. Do you have measurements for the Robot Graves neck? Like, how thick is it across the neck and what shape?
I hope it's nothing like an Ibanez Edge neck. I can deal with D shapes, but nothing like a real shredder as I'm used to either Fenders or my Dan Armstrong copy.
The Electrical Guitar company is the most C shaped of this group still relatively thin but feels more fender than shredder. The Aluminati not pictured is also round and in-between Fender and Gibson. Feels like a slightly fatter wider Fender neck.
I feel ya on this, I like trying different shapes and radius they have their advantages especially with chords. I have grown to appreciate both thick and thin necks too usually with flatter radius. The Robot graves is the most like this shredder with a D shape it's smooth though but its a D. I really like the feel of the Alef its smooth and feels fast and is in between D/C shape. Aluminati or EGC is the most "normal feeling neck" aluminum neck I have tried.loveinathens wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 8:21 pmI hope it's nothing like an Ibanez Edge neck.
