So far I've tried the following all with 1-11/16 nuts:
- Standard Thin: To thin for me as the neck feels like it disappears in my palm.
- Boat: In contrast to Standard Think, the Boat is too thick. I have fairly large hands, but can't wrap my thumb over the top. Also, the V profile was much more pronounced than I expected.
- Wolfgang: I love the asymmetrical feeling, but it feels to thin.
- 59: So far this is my personal favorite. It reminds me more of a G&L Classic profile more than a PRS or Gibson. In fact, I have several Gibsons and maybe it's similar but yet different. It might be a bit more round than by Gibsons...don't know but they feel different. The 59 feels like a nice comfortable Strat neck to me. The only downside is while I can get my thumb over the top, I just barely get it there. I need to think about it and stretch depending on where I'm playing on the neck. It's not bad, but not effortless.
The neck I really want to try, and think will be my personal goldilocks is the SRV. The SRV seems to be one of the least popular profiles, but I think it might be perfect for me. I'm pretty sure it will be my next purchase.
