PRS Neck Radius

[vernplum]

Does anyone know if PRS guitars come with anything other than 'wide fat' necks?

I was in a place in Penisular the other day (Davis?) and tried a PRS Custom 24 (Blue one - anyone else played that guitar in the shop? ). The neck was quite thick and I didn't really like it, though the rest of the guitar was absolutely beautiful.

I might want to get a McCarty Hollowbody II - from the catalogue, this is the one I consider to be the most beautiful, but I want a more slender neck (certainly more slender than a Les Paul, though I don't expect it to come as slim as my Ibanez S-Series, though if it can come close to my 50th Ann Strat Deluxe that might be nice.) The catalogue seems to indicate that Wide and Fat is all there is.

Anyone know?

Current Neck Profiles
The Regular neck is a comfortable neck that is 1/32 narrower and not quite as thick front to back as our Wide Fat neck. It is currently only available on the Custom and Standard 24.

The Wide Thin neck has a thinner profile front to back than the Wide Fat. This neck is available on many of our 22 and 24 fret models.

The Wide Fat neck only available on 22 fret models, has the same nut width as the Wide Thin neck but has a big comfortable profile, similar to our Regular neck. Because of its strength and longer “heel”, the Wide Fat neck produces warm tones with lots of sustain.

The PRS Bass neck has the very familiar and comfortable feel of a traditional electric bass guitar neck.

The 513 neck carve is very cloe to that of the wide fat profile, but the nut width is in between our wide fat and regular at about 1 43/64". A very comfortable neck carve and only available on our new 513 models.
