Strat wizard neck help.

[J.D.ROOST]

I've played the Ibanez 3-ply wizard neck (not sure if it's the wizard-I or not).  The neck was OK but I wasn't thrilled with the guitar.  I haven't tried the Warmoth Wizard but am considering it for a new neck.  I'm trying to match a fast .750 satin finished Maple neck on one of my strats that I love.  The Warmoth is a little thinner.  The Ibanez that I played is also a little thinner than my strat, but not enough to be noticeable.


 You need to check out an older rg570 or 550 (pre 91).
They have the wiz 1 necks. Best neck on ANY guitar in my book.

The bigger "boat" neck is close to my Lonestar neck now.
I have tried one of those "pre"beat up looking teles and it
felt a bit thinner but not good enough.
 For me the only relief is a paper thin neck..

are you sure you want a thin neck like that? might help to be using a thicker neck like a boat, fatback or 59 roundback. I would check out some geetars at the local shop to compare and see if you have the same hand fatigue with thin necks and fat necks.

For some people that works, but not for all. I have a variety of guitars with different neck profiles, and the bigger necks tend to fatigue my hands. I'm much more comfortable with a thin neck, I can play my Jacksons for hours with no fatigue at all....

I'm in the same boat.  The thinner necks are more comfortable for me, and the difference is noticeable.  I played a boatnecked strat rather than my usual standard thin this weekend, and my hand was near cramping after a few hours.

"near" cramping? after a "few" hours?  I would have problems with a neck that made my hand cramp up after a few Min, but a few hours? sounds like normal hand fatgue to me.
