What would you buy?
Here's some more explanation of the options:
1) New neck for the '62RI: The original neck is great. I love it. But the frets are so goddamn small, and the fretboard radius is annoyingly 7.25", and I'm actually most comfortable on a 10" or 12" radius. I don't mind 9.5". 7.25" is downright annoying. Every time I go to do a sweet bend, the notes fret out. So I wanna get a new neck. All maple, 9.5" or 10" or 12" radius, with bigger goddamn frets. Why all maple as opposed to the maple/rosewood combo that's on there right now? Cuz I want more snap, articulation and punch.
2) Reverb pedal: My pedalboard lacks reverb. One of my two amps lacks reverb. I figure if I get a reverb pedal, then my next step is getting a lightweight, portable, powered grab-n-go pedalboard with only like 3 or 4 pedals on it, so that I can have awesome control over my sound without having to lug around a heavy briefcase full of pedals.
3) Practice amp: I thought I'd really love taking my H&K head and the little 1x10" marshall cab to jam sessions, and I kinda do, because it sounds great, but I also kinda don't because if I have a guitar on my back, and a cab in one arm, amp in the other, that makes travelling by subway/bus whatever a royal pain in the ass (but a necessary one since I sold my car). A small practice amp would solve this. Would have to be lightweight again, that way just guitar and amp to carry. donezo.
