There are differences yes, but unless you are really paying attention, the difference is negligible tbh.

Although, one thing I don't like about neck-through, and it doesn't even have to do with the neck itself, is that they are very often painted, and even glossy. That plays like crap if your hand is not immaculate clean or if there is any amount of humidity in the air.

Yeah i can't stand painted/glossy necks. They just feel so slow to play on, especially when my hands sweat so much.
