Picking Your Ideal Neck

Neck thickness should be chosen for what best fits your hands, therefore not the “tone” it has.  That should be the major consideration in the choice of your new neck. The timbre of a fat neck is noticeable however, most of the tone comes from your playing technique-not the wood.  Furthermore, on electric guitar tones are affected by everything from the pickups and amplification to pedals, picks, string gauge and speaker enclosures.

comfort affects your playing ability

In a live playing situation “wood tones” in an electric guitar will become even less noticeable.  The overall sound of your guitar may be noticeably affected by a fatter/ thicker neck but generally only when you are playing without the guitar plugged in to an amp.  So, remember another thought. High gain electric guitar tone is very much dependent on a player’s technique, control and comfort with his instrument and not the thickness of a neck.

However, comfort affects your playing ability, which is an important factor in your technique.  Neck tone is an issue that no empirical evidence has ever put to rest.
