My hands are getting old and rickety. My strats deluxe neck used to be wonderful, but now it's getting to the point that I can't fret the G string on an A minor chord, and my hand cramps.
So I was playing a John Mayer strat copy whatever it is and the neck was so much more comfortable. So I looked up the specs on the model number and compared it to warmoth specs. The closest, measurement wise was a 59 roundback. I'm wanting to get a neck with that profile and was wondering everyone's opinion? Has anyone been able to compare the two?
On Facebook I was told that a boatneck with an 1 7/8 nut was extremely comfortable and was going to try that. But it's impossible for me to find something with that particular profile.
Now I don't know which route to take.
I have large 47 year old mechanic hands, not andre the giant hands but I don't have any problem using my thumb on the low E if that gives an idea.
Any advice? Particularly on those two profiles or the comparison I mentioned above?
Thank you for the help.
