This is one things that's troubling me a bit. I like the 50s necks, but I think that's a lot because I like a bigger, rounder neck on an acoustic. But I wonder as I get better at lead playing (kinda the point of all this) if I'm going to want that flatter neck.

I'm taking some lessons, and I wonder if maybe she'll have me adjust my technique (self taught) to speed up my playing. Kind of think I'll wait a bit until I'm more sure what I'll want. Maybe a few months of dedicated practice first, then make a call. But right now the 50's feels really good.
