New Valentine – Neck Question

I think I love it – pretty darn sure I really, really like it…wanting to love it.

Does anybody else find the neck a little “delicate” for lack of a better term…like it’s almost like an SG neck to me – like any movement on my part wavers the pitch up & down.

Am I just being ham-fisted?!? LOL

I know there are some people that feel a highly figured maple neck is weaker than a normal maple neck, and mine has some very nice flame figuring as well as some almost spalted looking figuring (obviously I know it’s not spalted, but for lack of a better way to describe it, it resembles that)…so I’m wondering if I’m being overly critical of a new $1800 guitar or not.

I bought with very strong intentions of using it as a recording guitar so I’m wondering if it’s just me or if anyone else has had any similar thoughts.

Have never noticed it with my Majesty, AL, Game Changer, or Morse before…though none of those have highly figured necks (or even roasted maple necks).
