I've been on the hunt lately for an SG or something similar, but I just can't seem to get on with Gibby necks for the most part, especially on a Les Paul; there's a flatness to the back of the profile on the examples I've played that I just don't find comfortable.
In my hunt for something different, I came across the Polara S-100, and it seems to tick the major boxes: sound (at least from the demos I've seen), it's from a reputable maker, and reviews all seem to agree that the fit and finish are excellent. Since starting my research, I haven't been able to get my mind off of it. Bummer is, I can't find one locally in a store to try. There are a few Guild dealers near me that have some acoustics, but none of the solidbodies.
Like I said though, some neck profiles just aren't comfortable for me, so that's the last question I want to answer before pulling the trigger on a great deal I came across online. I'd really appreciate any feedback you could provide on the neck. I currently play a Fender Telecaster with their "Classic C" neck that fills my hand nicely, and a Gretsch Electromatic that seems to sit somewhere in between the Fender profile and the Les Paul. Can anyone compare the Fender or Gretsch to the Guild profile from experience? How do Guild electrics compare to their acoustics with regards to neck profile and feel?
Thank you for your feedback.
