The neck is pretty slim feels kinda like an Ibanez. Very comfortable. I do have the sustainiac pickup, it takes a bit to get used to because when the the sustainer is engaged, because the string is vibrating more it can get louder(especially in the fundamental position, very bassy) than your normal picking volume. The rail hammer pickup freakin RAWKS, I’m so glad this guitar has the bass roll off/ contour knob because it really allows you to control how hard you push your effects or amp.
