Just curious whether this is, as I suspect, intended, and done as an aid to playing.

The treble side falls away more sharply, I guess making it easier for fingers to get up and over.

Where ya been Hobie? Welcome back. :)

I don't know the answer to your question as all of the O's I've ever played seemed to have symmetrical necks, or its not something I've noticed.

I have been in Gretsch, Fender, Maton, Matamp, Edwards 335, Cole Clarke, and now back in Ovation; I guess touring the delights.

Are these all guitars that you covet, or own?

Are you aware that Fender is now Ovation? (Well, actually Ovation is now part of Fender.)

I have owned them for longer and shorter periods; I live well away from major towns, so I buy and sell to see what's what about different guitars; relative newcomer to guitars.

I currently have the 1861, and an Edwards 335
