Well, keep in mind that 1 & 5/8ths = 1.625 will the Yamaha mentioned has a 1.614", so essentially the same. Looks like a great guitar though.

I understand the aversion to narrower necks. On acoustic I prefer a generous 1.75". I have transitioned pretty well to neck width of the BB and prefer the narrower but deeper neck profile than the one on my Ascari P90. I also have a strong personal preference towards satin Maple necks over gloss on anything.

I have a feeling that it wouldn't take you long to go to a 1&5/8 but we are all different.

Have you tried the Gibson SG? It's configuration offers the fatness of HB's put still maintains (IMHO) more treble and overall definition than the LP or ES335.
