Sometimes our favorite neck may not be best for us.  Sounds strange, but when 
I played both a Parker Fly and a Joe Pass Emperor, I did not care for the 
feel of the neck at all... there was no deciding, the guitars said "don't buy 
me" as soon as I wrapped my hand around the neck.  At the same time, I'd 
never played as well as I did on those necks.  I couldn't miss a note if I'd 
tried.
Sometimes it pays to "get used" to a neck that you may not care for at first. 
Of my 12 or so electrics, I have probably 4 distinctly different necks, yet I 
am equally proficient on all of them.  The G&Ls are my favorite, followed by 
the DEEP "V" neck on my Epiphone PR5-E acoustic.
C-ya! Rich
