I believe it man, I truly do, I really like Nino's work, and you seem to have the pick of the bunch!:cool:

I hear his 5er necks are thinner than Fender 5ers too.

It depends on where he got his wood from. I heard that his older neck profiles were a bit chunky, since he was getting parts from Warmoth, but his newer stuff from USACG is pretty nicely shaped. I played a Fender 5'er but it was MIM, which I assume is the same shape as the USA's, and it was definitely a little chunkier than mine. I would compare the feel of the neck to a Lakland 5'er. I had a 55-01 and loved it. My Valenti's neck profile feels just about the same as my 55-01 so, like my 55-01, I love it.
