Not quite a Nocaster, but like a nice, big ‘59 LP/Flying V Style. Super comfortable- Mike nailed it! 3 Quote

I’m still shocked at how my neck fits me based on me describing my preferences to him. Quote

Not quite a Nocaster, but like a nice, big ‘59 LP/Flying V Style. Super comfortable- Mike nailed it! I was worried about communicating my desire for a thick neck to Mike on number 96. I sent the specs for my Ibby Paul Gilbert Fireman, which is beefy, but how does a pair of numbers translate, really? Fortunately, on my visit to Shishkov World HQ two summers back, I got to play the Maverick prototype. "This," was my neck request, "this." So he had a reference pretty handy. Just what I wanted. Turns out to be meatier than my Fireman! 2 Quote
