Flying Vs have terrible upper fret access in my opinion man. Sure there's nothing blocking the side of your hand from sliding up, but the body comes onto the neck about 5-6 frets from the last fret. As you get to the higher registers you suddenly have to reach around part of the body to fret notes. Feels very uncomfortable to me![]()
Whats the access like for ESP 7 stringers anyone use those?
Not really, plenty of lead player use them. To each their own, would be a good way to look at it.
Not all players have the same wants and needs.
That is quite subjective, as I love playing leads on my Turbulence R729 and Hellraiser, and they both have thicker necks than the typical wizard-like neck profile. It's a matter of trying things and seeing what works best, honestly.
