Hi,
I'm trying to decide on my first build and want a Roasted Swamp Ash neck with same fretboard. Trying to decide if I should go to a boatneck size or standard thin. Never really thought about thickness before now, usually only looking at the width more since I'm relatively new to playing (4+ years).
Currently, I have a 2018 MIM Fender Strat with what appears to be the closest to the standard thin. I also have a 2019 Epi LP Standard with the wider neck and have no issues switching back and forth between the two. Sometimes, I prefer the wider LP neck because I can chord better on that while also throwing in some intermediate fills or licks, but don't know how thickness comes into play with these. I have wider hands rather than longer fingers.
I'm interested in hearing what things has anyone else considered when deciding between the two?
Thanks
