If you like the sliim taper of your 335, you might want to give the R0 a try.

I've been really liking the carves on the 2006 and 2007 R0s that I've been seeing lately. IMHO, they are closer to the real '50s necks that I've played, including '52, '53, several '54s, a pair of '55s, '56, '57 (probably about 3 conversions) and a real '60 burst. Also a couple of '59 335s. So far, the fattest '50s neck I've played has been on a Special, and it still wasn't as fat as most R7s.
