I wish they made the neck of the BMG or at least an option to be as fat as the original, it takes people by surprise at first but many really like it when they have played of a while, the true shape of the neck is like a baseball bat, it's very round and feels good in the hands, you do need long fingers to reach all the frets certainly if you play with the thumb over.
I spoke to Barry Moorehouse at BMG about it a few years ago but he was convinced it would be too much of a departure from the standard guitar neck and would hurt sales. The Super, Dansan, CQ and RS Custom, all have the right size necks.

Yeah, I must admit, I'd love to try the original neck size. But personally, I'd wonder how useful it could be. I have no idea what it would be like for my hands, at all. Still, I am curious about how it plays.

So long as you dont have small hands (fingers) I think it's much better, the neck just feels right and the larger the neck the more you can feel the vibration down it, particularly if it's bolt on with chambers in the body. The corrent construction is a much more 'hollow' feel and sound and the neck adds to that. It does take a while to get used to but somehow it feels more natural once you get over the first few moments, I actually found I played the smaller necks better afterwards as I was used to stretching more.
