    Hello! I recently refinished and upgraded my son's Epi SG. I was given a brand new set of SD 59's, black open coils, but the neck as long legs and doesn't fit in the body. While I could drill out the body a bit more to accommodate the pickups, I think a swap would be better. This was a brand...

    Its all about the feel...of the neck...

    For those few here that know me, I am obsessed with a guitar that feels comfortable in the hand. Namely, I like thicker necks, usually in the neighborhood of .875 to .950 at the first and 1.00 at the 12th. But the nut has to be a bit narrow. The shape cannot have to much shoulders to them...
