Ha, that's interesting feedback. I always read about Phil Collen from Def Leppard using metal picks, ultra heavy gauge strings, and having baseball bat necks on his guitars because it all helps the tone. So manly, along with his shirtless look

I think it's all smoke and mirrors - I just got rid of my Jackson PC-1 and didn't think the neck was any thicker than other guitars I've owned over the years. (Not hating on Phil at all BTW, I love the guy!)
