I've never had a problem with them.

One of the more annoying things about them is when I'm tapping & my right forearm keeps knocking the selector switch to the neck position from the bridge as I move down the fretboard...always happens & it's pretty difficult/awkward trying to avoid. Upper fret access is'nt the greatest either..
Some people manage to find workaround's but I would'nt say it's a shredder's guitar...Last edited by Phantasmagoria; 09-04-2023, 09:17 PM."Less is less, more is more...how can less be more?" ~Yngwie J Malmsteen

With good fretwork any neck can be super fast if you're not bothered by the heel. At that point it comes down to how it sounds, how it looks.

I have to say that thinner, "shreddier" guitars are less comfortable to me overall. I will take good fretwork and setup on a Gibson over a superstrat any day. I find some lead playing marginally easier on my longer-scale neck through guitars with smoothed-out heels, but practically speaking it's never been a problem. It doesn't outweigh the difference in overall utility for the vast majority of what I play. Horses for courses; I am not a "shredder" and I don't do anything massively technical.
Gibson LP and Explorer ergonomics are just right for me, also. 24.75" scale, tune-o-matic, 4-ish degree neck angle, I'm at home. I have a Schecter Explorer with a 25.5" scale and a slightly flatter neck angle and that slight difference makes for a bunch of shoulder pain, and the thin neck doesn't feel right in my hand. I can get used to it but it's never truly just right.
