  • How do you like the PC1?

    I'm thinking of getting a PC1 but I have never
    played one. I'm using a SL2H and DK2S (love the sustainer in DK2S).

    I read that the sustainer in the PC1 is better???

    How is the neck?

    I like the SL2 and DK2 flat radius necks.
    Will I like the PC1 neck?

    I don't have any PC1's locally so I have to buy it from the internet without trying it.

    The PC1 is a great guitar. The neck is a bit thicker, more rounded. Not my favorite profile, but I wouldn't consider it a negative either. I can easily adjust to the different feel and prefer the variety.

    Absent trying one locally, I'd suggest you try a Les Paul neck, and imagine it with an oiled maple finish. Not the same by any means but, off the top of my head, I can't think of anything more comparable, either. It'll get you in the ballpark for feel.

      Actually, wouldn't the PC1 be closer to a Fat Strat?

      I've a Jackson with a LP Profile neck, and it feels nothing like a PC1. The LP Profile is quite a bit thicker than the PC1, IMO.

        Probably, but I've never played a Fat Strat. [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Good suggestion, Xeno.

          I think you'll love the PC1, it's a great guitar! The neck is somewhat fatter than other Jackson necks. I have a PC1 and an SL2GX which has a much thinner speed neck and I don't have any problem switching between the two. I also have an '87 Soloist that has a neck that's somewhere in the middle, so I'm constantly having to adjust...but its not really a big deal. Never really give it much thought.

          I get alot more tone variations from my PC1, I think the Mahogany has alot to do with that. So, if you want a really versatile guitar, the PC1 is the way to go.

            Actually not a bad feeling neck... if only the rest of the guitar were up to par... [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
