N2 neck and comparable wooden varieties

steelvibe · #1 10-04-2014, 02:32 PM

So I was wondering for those who own/like/love the N2 necks on RainSong guitars if they have found a comparable version on wood varieties.

While I really like carbon fiber for their purposes and am a fan of the RainSong varieties, I would like to know what people might be doing to ease the transition between the N2 and whatever other beefy neck profiles. I have found certain Yamaha and Seagull guitars to have substantial necks but I'm probably missing some great options.

Anyone?

My 38 year old D28 has a very similar feel to my HDR1000N2

Thanks for that feedback, but it might prove both difficult and expensive to pick one of those up.

Do you know if the newer D28's have the same necks? I know that there is a retro series out and they look killer.

Not sure about the newer Martins.
I purchased mine new when I was 17, I sold a Gibson SJ and a gretsch to get the money. Cost $638 dollars in 1975.
I plan on taking my D28 back to Nazareth this year for a reconditioning and a tour of the factory. I will be brought up the speed on the most recent Martins then.
Enjoy your journey. Time flies.

My 2014 Martin D-28 1937 has a neck that is very similar to the N2 neck.

I find the neck on my Epiphone Blues Master to be similar.

Thanks for the comments guys

Flyfast, you, like me, have a thing for smaller bodied guitars. I checked out a video of the Blues Master- pretty cool guitar! I see that you also have the RS Parlor.
