Location: Phoenix AZ | Stephen, I would beg to differ with you about this being a wide neck. As far as I am concerned, 1-3/4 is NORMAL, 1-11/16 is SKINNY and 1-7/8 is WIDE. That's a beautiful guitar.

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Sorry, I was out polishing and then freezing....but somehow things were getting a bit messy :rolleyes:
Concerning the wide neck....I am not sure what the D28VS neck is but it is DEFINITELY smaller than the Collings. It almost seems like a classical but plays so easily that even a Dm6 barred at the 3rd fret is a piece of cake. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | D28VS is 1-3/4. A lot of Collings are 1-13/16, maybe that's what this one is. As long as you like it, that's what matters. Dave |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Yup, just got done measuring and it is 1-13/16"....so almost a wide neck in the witkopedia universe! :p
Dave, when are you gonna be in the Springs again?
I think your gonna like this one (even compared to your super Collings!)
Tone report coming soon vs D28VS and EF75. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Dave, still got it but to be honest, since the Taks, D28VS, Lowden and Collings it hasn't been out of the case for a while.
Guess I need to pull it out and compare necks. |
