well if you think a standard LP isnt 'shreaddable' then so will the zakk wylde

my fingers are really short, and i can access higher frets on my les paul. its only 22 frets not 24.

if you have your thumb behind neck position pretty much nailed down, thick or thin necks doesnt really affect that much. i prefer thick necks coz it gives me more control when i do bends (with the thumb over neck position)
