Howdy blue -

You might try playin a 12 to see for yourself! I used to play one exclusively, and there are things i played flawlessly on it that i have no prayer of currently playing on a 6. The action is typically very low, and if somebody with my small hands who now plays a standard 1 11/16" neck could handle it, most anybody could.
