\"Profiles: A \"C,\" \"U,\" or \"V?\"
Neck profile (the \"shape\" of the neck) is probably the most personal element of a guitar. It affects how your hand and fingers \"fit\" the neck and how easily you can move from fret to fret. From early on acoustic guitars employed some variation of a \"C\" shape. Electric guitar makers have experimented extensively and a variety of profiles have evolved with the preferences of players. Jeff Becks favorite Fender Stratocasters had a very fat \"C\" shape; current models of Fenders Custom Artist Jeff Beck Signature Strat have a smaller \"C\" to be more player-friendly.
Similar to the \"C\" is the oval neck profile. This offers a less pronounced curve at the back and has its followers. On the other side is the \"U\" - an almost-rectangular shape that appeared on many Fenders - perhaps best for players with long fingers. And Eric Clapton has favored a \"V\" neck that provides a comfortable groove down the middle. A variation on this is the \"inverted V,\" that is thicker on the bass side and thinner on the treble side.
Width is as much a factor in the neck profile as shape, leading some guitar makers to abandon the letter analogy and begin describing profiles as \"wide-fat\" or \"regular-thin\" and so on, in which widths are \"wide, regular or narrow\" and depths range from \"fat to regular to thin.\" This often provides a clearer description of the profile and can help you when youre shopping for guitars online. Parker and Paul Reed Smith use these types of descriptions.\"
