Through neck heel profiles

[dxlxntxxlxr]

As I'm sure you all know, every through neck guitar's heel profile is different. I was wondering what all of your opinions are on what company's through neck heel profile is the most seamless/comfortable. Personally, my favorite is the Jackson soloist. Let me know what you all think!

You shoulda seen the San Dimas Jackson neckthrough heels before they shaved them down. Ugh.

Carvin / Keisel current neck thru heel and cutaway make it effortless getting to the 24th fret.

Glued in or bolted in.
Gotta decide which. Regardless, no heel. Just gotta put in a little bit more effort.

The most seamless heel I've ever played was on the ESP EX model. Stupid access! But, my favorite is a B.C. Rich neck profile.

My least favorite neck profile is a Jackson where the compound radius is enhanced and it becomes unplayable for me, which is ironic.

The heal that feels the best to me is the one that feels the best to ME.

I haven't played the ex but I've played a snakebyte, which I wasn't amazed by. BC Rich to me is ok, doesn't beat the Jackson for me. I get what u mean about the radius though. Takes some getting used to. My two main guitars are a soloist and a strat, so pretty big jump

that jackson looks very similar to the Ernie Ball Music Man Petrucci Majesty

The removal of the heal has me very intrigued by the neck through design for a future custom guitar i've been thinking about having built
