It's a fabulous looking neck, they both are really, I just can't get into that headstock tho, not sure why... :dontknow:ghotiphry said:Yup. Maybe. But if it had 4 holes instead of 6 I would own this.DangerousR6 said::binkybaby:ghotiphry said:

Just the shape. Yes, for me too I prefer the soloist over a strat body. I liked the original VIP, that was more PRS-ish. But for the headstock, it still looks too much like a strat. Now I do like the shape of Suhr headstocks, which are similar, but has much more of a pointy vibe.docteurseb said:DangerousR6 said:It's a fabulous looking neck, they both are really, I just can't get into that headstock tho, not sure why... :dontknow:ghotiphry said:Yup.

From the wood/color combination perspective, or it not being quite like a Strat headstock ?
I felt the same way for 15+years; I never considered other headstock shapes or body styles than Strats during that time. Anything else looked 'wrong' to me.
After discovering PRS the last 3 years though (not a good thing for the wallet either) my builds completely shifted towards Soloist/VIP bodies instead of Strats. It's to the point where I even prefer the aesthetics of a Soloist with Warhead neck over a Strat.
That said I feel like those Fender licensed shapes are still much better when it comes to resale value and ease of resale.

Luckily gloss finish and standard thin not being my preferred profile mean it's ever so slightly easier to resist.

That's why I got at least one, if it doesn't become an option. Could be a collectors item some day... :laughing7:TheElvis said:DangerousR6 said:
The turtles should be to Warmoth what the birds are to PRS
the standard option :icon_biggrin:
So is this the body Aaron used in the test, and did you acquire it.... :icon_scratch:swarfrat said:Years of distraction and procrastinating. Months of waffling in various schemes. Basswood reverse angled hybrid strat, 200lbf of poplar drying under the back porch... All brought to naught by a deal in the showcase. Wonder what I should do with that beauty mark:
