I have been around and around on that one. I always thought that the N1 was the perfect neck. I have two Rainsongs I have bought used and both have the N2. I think the N2 on my Jumbo is perfect just because it reminds me of the Gibson J100 I gave to my son. But I think it really is a oddly thick neck someone said it is like a 1959 Les Paul. I really don't know why they went there. Many like it but just as many always comment about the thickness. It is very playable but just to me something I would not buy if I had the choice. As to truss rods I am really coming to the conclusion that they are not really necessary on a carbon and just add to the weight of the guitar. They really are I think a marketing point to get wood players to feel comfortable. I just bought a new carbon doubleneck guitar form Emerald no truss rods and it is fine could take the action easily to 5/64 with no issues and you don't have the weight. They just are not necessary.
