| I've read that they're kind of thin. Naturally i'm gassing for one hard, but am afraid of the thinness of their necks. I'm a long time sg/tele player and generally prefer fat c necks. How thin are they really? Like Jackson metal thin? Or like normal strat thin? | |

| The T-60 neck is closer to a modern ’C’ than anything else. I have a USA built Strat Plus and the T-60 neck feels thinner but I can’t say for certain without checking both necks with a micrometer. I actually prefer the T-60’s neck over the Stratocaster’s. Don’t think it’s a thin as an Ibanez Wizard neck. | |

| I've seen necks a lot chunkier (my Epi LP Jr and Epi Ace Frehley LP come to mind) and I've seen necks a lot thinner (shredder Jacksons and Ibanez) than the T-60 neck.
I've never gotten familiar with the Fender neck profiles so I really don't know about them. The neck on my '78 or '79 Gibson 'The Paul' was really close to the necks on all my T-60s. Hope this helps. | |

| Good to hear, I was just afraid it'd be a shredder neck (i mean it was made in the late 70s early 80s, when shread was king). Now to unload my tele. Maybe. | |

| If you've got some big mitts, it may not work for ya. I bought one but the neck....to me, was thin and hard for me to play. I'm used to an acoustic when I play a 6 string and chording on a T-60 was difficult. BUT, the guitar sounded killer!!! | |

| The neck is thinner than most out there to me its easy to play but it is for sure a thin neck i have several teles and a strat and it is way thinner than either of themk I am also pretty sure Chip did not design it as a shredder I think he just tryed to cover all the basses and make the best guitar he could | |
