So I have two guitars, a core Custom 24 with a Pattern Regular neck, and a core Tremonti with a Pattern Thin neck, and while I enjoy playing both guitars there is one thing I would change....
You see, the Pattern Regular neck feels like it was made for MY hand, it fits perfectly, is comfortable, nothing is a big stretch, and to quote Apple...it just works. When I play the Tremonti, if I play it exclusively for a few days I get used to the neck, but as soon as I pick up my Custom 24 my brain goes "ahhhhh this is so much better!".
So that brings me to my crazy idea...I know the PTC does neck recarving, but is it possible to convert the Pattern Thin neck to a Pattern Regular carve? Or do the dimensions differ so much that it wouldn't work?
I bought the Tremonti because of the thinner neck to begin with, as I had a les paul that the fatter neck drove me crazy on, so the Pattern cut was out, I just wish they would offer Pattern Regular necks on single cuts, but alas, compromise had to happen.
Anyone go this route before?
