Thank you guys all so much! I thought I'd give an update on it all. The honeymoon period is over, and it's NOT perfect. It is, however, everything I could ever need. It's heartbreaking for me to admit that it's not the glorious six string I hoped it'd be, but the shape of the neck puts me off and sometimes hurts my hands. It makes it almost tedious to play continuously for long periods of time. But hey, maybe it's just my hands! Any of you guys have better experiences with them? If so, I'd love to hear them!
when i got my RGD it took a little while to get used to playing with the thinner neck. I eventually worked out that i needed my thumb higher up the back of the neck than with my other guitars. and the discomfort i was getting was because my hand was more "pinced" due to the shorted distance between my thumb and my fingers, rather than more relaxed when the thumb's further away.
if it hurts, stop, and find a position that doesnt!
