Comfy Neck Shapes

richter4208

Wanted to get some ideas from the rest of you that have played many different makers of gypsy guitars. I want to get into a guitar with a rounded profile that isn't clubby or have shoulders in the neck profile. Let's just talk about neck profiles in general and what is comfortable to you.

Here's what I've played.
d500-wide thin(ish) profile. The one isn't rounded enough for me. It's become playable to me as it
was my fist gypsy guitar.

d340-rounded with shoulders turning it into a d shape profile rather than a c shape. This neck is thick.

In general I'm after a comfy C shape.

anyone have thoughts or experiences?

Everyone has a neck shape that they will be most comfortable with due to hand shape and playing style.

Sounds to me like you have your ideal down

yes, the c shaped necks, not too thick or thin.

but my question is what gypsy guitars fit this bill?

I agree everyone has their faves.

My holo sure has a cozy shape...contemporary and modern in that it is c shaped but uniquely narrow fingerboard...very cozy and easy on the hand...my barault is a more traditional width, a bit on the thicker girh of it but extremely cozy for my larger hand...a bit more like a d300 but more of c than a d shape...you can gt a good luthier to make your neck just how you want if you don't mind the wait an hav the cash of coarse...good luck,

Cool to know that Barault makes a neck that is a bit more C shaped that D. And of course the Holo must be awesome. Does anyone know what Dupont necks are like.

Thanks for the info, exactly what I was looking for.
