Gas pains.... Played my buddies Will Lee 5 metro 5 on a gig the other day and was blown away by the tone and neck feel.

The neck on the Will Lee 5 I test drove felt much better in my hands than the standard Metro 5. Not as chunky and very manageable coming from a Roscoe with 18mm spacing. GLWTS

I have this same experience. The nut is smaller on the WL models, so that might be part of it.
