Sure thing.

To the best of my knowledge Premier/Multivox manufactured the necks of both of my two Premiers (and the body of one but not the other), and they are both huge, I mean, I think they may have the deepest profiles of any guitar necks I have ever felt in my hands. And they're round all the way, with no hint of D or V in the shape. So I am confident that it's a Premier trait, at least up until the mid 60s or so. Which is not to say that Kay couldn't have made them, or someone else to Premier's specs.

On one of them, on a scroll bodied electric solidbody with both neck and body made in NY by Premier, the neck/headstock is a single piece of brazilian rosewood (!).
