How big is this neck? wWhat could it compare to? I know it is thick, but I am looking for more specifics. I'm thinking of buying one without trying it. Is it nocaster thick or similar to a john mayer or eric johnson strat?

Big but not as fat as a nocaster. (I have both, at least that's the way mine are, but that seems to be the general trend.) Not really familiar enough with the JM or EJ to say though.

It's bigger in thickness and width than the EJ. I hated Strats, but then I played the maple EJ and feel in love. Then one day by chance I picked up a Hot Rod 62 and bought it on the spot, because of the neck.

Stratman..There's a shop in Staten Island (Mandolin Bros) very reputable that has a used '62 Hot Rod in Sherwood Green for about 1200 or so...Give them a call...No affiliation, they're just great to do business with, and they'll answer any questions..
