| Front E9th neck or back c6 which neck is more ergonomically comfortable for you to play for a exstended time. Also do u ever wish u had started with them in reverse order when u first began to play? It sure didn’t hurt Curly’s ablity to play. |

Playing the back neck is basically like playing an S10, (with the floor pedals a bit farther forward). Having the front neck as primary provides the "loafer" feature of a D10 or SD10. Ralph Moony also had his primary neck on the back, which didn't hurt his career. I suppose its mainly a matter of what you get used to. I've never felt compelled to reinvent the wheel and play either S10 E9 or standard D10 with E9 on the front.

| for what it's worth, i find it less comfortable to play the back neck, but maybe that's because i'm cringing so much from sounding so bad on it. |

| I get neck cramps easier on the back neck. Not so bad on the outside neck. Most noticeable in a 4 hour gig. Play mostly 1 and 2 hour shows. |

I've always played a D-10 with E9th on the front neck. I've had 3 D-10's, first a Fender 2000 then a 71 Emmons and finally the Franklin.
My wife has an S-10 GFI and I can play it but its not comfortable and I have to work at it. |

| I am quite comfortable with both, and able to adapt easily. If I had to put them in order, I would say I prefer the feel of the Back Neck. But, it's a very minor difference to me. That is, as long as I always put something under my forearm while I'm playing the front neck. Otherwise, the plain steel strings on the back neck tend to oxidize prematurely. |
