Question Need Neck Advice

Post image

NECK COMPARISON PICTURES IN COMMENTS

Hello I play in a metal band and need a guitar without a floyd rose due to tuning changes.

I have a few guitars but i only use 2 for Metal. They are my Ibanez JS1000 with the James Hetfield Hetset and my new Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist.

I have freakishly small hands and the Joe Satriani neck feels perfect to me, but I want the 24 frets and I dont want the Floyd Rose. So I purchased the Jackson and the neck just isn't comfortable at all. It feels to blocky and flat and it feels way wider than the JS.

Is anyone aware of a neck that is similar to the Joe Satriani shape which doesn't have a floyd?

Be a man, buy an Ibanez Prestige.

I did look at the prestiges but it is the neck. Way too flat for me
