Many many years ago, I bought a fatback neck thinking that I could reshape the neck profile using nothing but sandpaper and eventually getting to where I want it to be.
I got the neck, and was initially pretty iffy about how it felt, but I got used to it, and never did do anything about it.
Now I'm thinking about breaking out the ol' sandpaper because although I do appreciate the grip I get from a fatback profile, maybe a bit thinner wouldnt be such a bad thing.
So my question is, since I am starting out with a fatback, does that mean I have more wood to turn my neck into something a bit more manageable, or is the truss rod on a fatback a little bit closer than if I had ordered a slimmer neck profile?
