My RK Ros-10 has a thick baseball-battish neck, but a more comfortable profile. MUCH better tone. Not as loud, but sounds and plays fantastic. It sounded "stringy" at first, but has matured into a very warm and round tone.
Resell on any Loar guitar is absolutely dismal to boot.

Thanks for the info, the RK RO T 16 doesn't have solid b/s the loar specs says it's solid hard to believe for the price. I do like the baked top on the RK. Does any one know if there is another brand that's in a porch, campfire price range that's solid b/s hog spruce top that's decent and has a thicker neck with 1 3/4? I think I saw an alverez a while back om solid but don't remember the neck profile. Unfortunately at this point in time with all that is going on in the world today, I'll have to order sight unseen so any information and experience with any of these guitars would be a big help and greatly appreciated. I'm not going to go to used route this time, and I can do some set up if the new one comes through with an undesirable action.
