I got what I believe is the deal of the century on two LSL guitars. One of the large online dealers was clearing out their inventory, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy both a T bone and a Saticoy. Basically I got two for the price of one. My dilemma is is that although I love the tone of the Saticoy, the neck is too big for me. So I am debating whether to have the neck reshaped. I was wondering if anyone out there in the forum has done this and how it worked out. I am hoping LSL would be willing to do it for me for a reasonable fee.
So what do you all think? I've read comments on some others forums, but as we all know, this is the place for the best advice. Thanks in advance.

Probably easier to swap necks for the right size from LSL.

I'd get a new neck or just deal with the fat one. Personally I prefer a beefy neck. The neck may have something to do with the tone you like too. I'd contact LSL and see what they suggest.

Nothing wrong with selling the one you don't like and putting the funds towards one you do like!

vI would just trade the old one, and get a new one as well. Then at least the resale value is pretty much unchanged. If you sand/reshape the neck, the resale value is totally shot. And this is coming from someone who does this for a living! I have done it in the past, but unless I have a VERY good reason, I try to convince customers to never make "permanent" modifications that de-value their guitar....especially since I would need to charge them on top of it... lol That kind of thing just doesn't sit well with me.

Are you a flipper or a holder?
If you're the kind of player who's gonna sell it in a few years leave it be, or get a new neck you can use while you own it.
If you're the kind of player that's gonna hold on to and use a guitar for years...do whatever you need to do to make it work for you and don't think for even one second about resale.
If you're gonna worry about the next owner just sell it now and get it to them as soon as possible. Otherwise my feeling is it's a tool and it doesn't do you any good to have a tool that you can't use well.
