It's been a while since I posted here, although I do visit from time to time.
In early 2010 I bought a stunning 2002 Bluesbird. I loved everything about this guitar, except 1 thing: the fat neck. Granted I am used to more 'modern' slimmer necks, but for the life of me I could not acclimate to it. It was much more chunky than a typical 50's syle neck. I tried for a year, and realized I couldn't do it, so I sold it. It was heartbreaking because I really did love that guitar.
So my questions is... do all Bluesbirds have that extra chunky neck? I know it's subjective, and I'll bet alot of people love fat necks, and that's great. I can't play 'em. But I love the BB guitars so much, and I'm hoping to hear something along the lines of "the earlier ones had necks that weren't so fat", or something like that. Any thoughts?
