One of the complaints I've read about the C-Melody is that the necks make for an awkward playing angle. This week I played one for the first time in a shop (was nice to check that off the bucket list. ). While there was a lot to like, I had to agree with this criticism. It was hard to find a comfortable way to hold it, and the neck was part of that. It was like the neck was too long.
That's when it occurred to me: Why didn't they make the neck with a deeper curve, so that the neck wouldn't stick out as much, and the whole thing would be more comfortable to play? Seems like that would have fixed the problem fairly easily.
