I give up.
277 Semi-Hollow soapbar arrived today.
Beautiful woodwork, very nice veneer on the top with a crisp, clear flame pattern under the vintage burst. The mahogany back looked great through the orange-tint finish. Nice and light. Acoustically, it was more lively and resonant than the solid-body version.
But the neck is NOT a wide/fat carve like the solid body, or like my USA McCarty. The width is similar, but it's much shallower than a McCarty, or the other SE's with wide/fat necks.
Someone else would probably love it for the fast, slender feel, but I do not get on well with pencil necks.
That was an important factor in my purchase decision, so this one is going back.
That's strange, according to the website its a wide-fat neck. Moreover, it seems strange to me that the semi-hollow would have a different neck (especially one that is thinner) than the solidbody version. Sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you.
