    ok so ive owned '01 r8, '02 r8, & '03 r8...... BUT haven't tried any from 2009 or beyond- anyway- was curious how the neck shape/thickness/shoulder's/roundness compares on r8's from 2009-2012, vs. r8's from before 2009.. would be great to hear from folk's who have either owned or played r8's...
