    That neck, is it quite fat and chunky?
    The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

    I would describe the neck as "comfortable".
    It's neither fat nor chunky, but it's a little bigger than the "modern C".
    It just feels good, if that makes any sense. I have three rehearsals (with different bands) this week, plus a gig on Friday, and so far I am very happy with the guitar.
    I've heard others say that the older version of the JB model had a baseball bat neck. I'd love to get my hands on one of those.
    I like me some chunk.
    Oh...forgot to mention; the guitar itself feels substantial. It weighs about 9lbs. I picked out the heaviest one. I think the heft adds to the tone, for sure.
