Is there a guitar you hate the feel of but tolerate it because of how it sounds?

I like beefier type of necks for my big hands and long fingers, and the RI 0 Gibson "slim taper" is pretty close to what I want, but my other 2 electrics: the Epi and Grosh, are both a little thinner than I'd like. I really don't mind the thickness of the neck as much as the width. Narrow necks always bother me (like the G&L I used to have), the Epi is tolerable. I will work with a neck if it's not perfect for me because the guitar sounds great.

The R0 neck is the thinnest (from front to back) neck on a "production" LP out of the Custom Shop.

Feel is more important than sound, you can change sound with the amp and pickups and setup etc... The feel is an inherent part of the guitar.

It's no secret that I have a love/hate relationship with my Tele, the Bastardcaster. They're not comfy guitars to me, they work for all of the wrong reasons, but they're annoyingly addictive and there's no adjusting tone controls on them. Plug 'em in, turn 'em up, and they're right where they need to be. Every other guitar that feels comfortable to me I end up fiddling with the tone controls. The Tele doesn't need that stuff.

Honestly, anything besides 80's shred guitars (Jackson, Charvel, Kramer, ESP) feels quite uncomfortable to me anymore. I don't have anything besides those now, and they all sound and feel great.

I'm the same way. The more I play my Jacksons, the less I play my others. They are the real deal.
