The AVRI has the most substantial neck profile of any non-vintage Jaguar I've played, but in fairness, I haven't played an AO.mattymatt wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 8:48 amI hope you don't mind if I piggyback on this thread, seemed like a better place than starting a whole new thread. I've been itching to play a Jaguar since I got my Jazzmaster. I like the idea of less string tension and a different tone. I've got fairly large hands, so are there any other Jaguar reissues that have a larger or fuller neck profile? The only one I'm aware of is the Johnny Marr signature.
Edit - I recently missed out on a Johnny Marr Jaguar and was wondering if I should set my sights else where
Personally though, I've had a recent revelation where I realized how easy and inexpensive (in the long run) it is to get a custom neck made to my specs. I took a gamble on a relatively obscure custom builder, PST Guitars, after seeing HNB's silverburst B&B neck they did. Scott, the owner, was super easy to deal with and built me the best-feeling neck I've ever felt on a new guitar for less money than a Warmoth of equivalent specs. He can do literally any profile, thickness, width, aesthetics, scale, etc.
I've bought, sold and traded so many guitars because they didn't quite feel right. Picking up whatever loaded body or full guitar you like and swapping the neck for something thicker than what is available commercially is a shortcut to the guitar you actually want to play.
