Asymetrical necks?

[bluesjuke]

I had a Strat I bought that I really liked but something felt strange to me and it took almost a month to figure out what- it was an assymetrical neck.

Didn't care for that especially after I knew what it was and returned it.
Others may love it though.

I think a thicker neck makes a big difference on tone. The asymmetrical neck gives you some more mass on the neck while maintaining comfort. I have one on my 08 LP, love it. My brother has a LP with a regular neck and covets mine greatly. I catch him rubbing his hand up and down it when he thinks I'm not looking. Creep.

it depends.
not everybody has the same size of hand curve.
one neck might feels great on one's hand, but not on the others.

for me, the only way to get perfect asymmetrical shape on your guitar neck is to make your own, or have someone build it for you.
like mine, I build them by myself.
when I carved the neck, I put my fretting hand on it and feel it.
once I got the most comfortable shape (for me), I stopped.
it feels great and comfy for me, but when others play it, they don't like it.

On the other, more unusual, 'hand', the US-made Linderts had an asymmetrical neck that was quite thin on the bass side and thicker under the treble strings. I love mine, but I have instability problems. It feels great, though, and took no time at all to get used to. Hard to find one to try out, as they're pretty rare.
