For me it is kind of a strange combination of choices - but I like PRS Wide Fat followed by Gibson Slim Taper 60's.

I prefer a little beefier neck, so the 50's and WF are my choices.

I kinda prefer Fender necks myself, although my satin '60s neck LP is nice, too.
However... it's not listed above but the neck on my PRS 25th Anniversary Mira 245 Soapbar (PRS calls it "standard") is unbelievably comfy & fast. It's almost as if the neck melts into my left hand and isn't even there. Hard to explain, but it's just a perfect fit.

Fatter necks seem to suit my hand more so 50' s rounded for me. My 335 dot fat neck is my favourite profile and easiest to play. My Corsa's 59 profile comes a close second. I think type and condition of frets plays just a big a part in the feel of a guitar I'm my view. I am becoming very attached to the big fat V neck on my CS 56 strat which I find very comfortable.

PRS wide thin for me. Well, actually the pattern thin. They don't make wide thin anymore but close enough. I ordered my Anderson with a thinner than usual neck too.

Fender Nocaster neck
1" thick top to bottom.
After that anything thicker like a '50's Gibson.
I do like a lot of Ernie Ball asymmetrical ones also.

I can get on with almost anything. My Eastman hollowbody is wide (1.75 @ nut) and pretty thin. My Grosh Set Neck has a big 50s C. I like them both. I guess if I had to pick one, it'd be something like the soft V to C at .87-.97 like I have on my Strat and ElectraJet.

I can work with anything too-the 50's baseball bat ones the size is noticeable but it doesn't bother me switching from a medium c.Seems strange to me,i have small hands,i would figure to have problems.

I used to be a lot more fussy than I am now, but on the whole I prefer bigger neck profiles to thinner ones. Somewhere in between fat and thin is fine. My old 335 is perfect, the necks in '64 were just right IMO. My '64 Strat is maybe on the small side at the nut, but fattens up as you go up the neck, and I've totally got used to it. Taylor acoustic necks are described by many as slim, but I find the neck on my 814ce to be perfect. Having said that, I also have a Martin OM with the big modified V profile, and I like that too!

On a Les Paul, I prefer the '59 neck. Kinda between the baseball and the slim taper...
Strats: fatter "C" or "D" neck
Teles: anything but the "U" neck with vintage frets

I was used to my LP Special's '60s slim neck', but the moment I got my R7, it just took me some time to get used to it and start enjoying the fatness. My fav is the 'mid '59' profile I have in my 2014 R9. It's a pleasure to play. Tons of tone!!

I just like having a guitar. If I get to pick it will be the 50s round neck.

I used to like big fat necks but various wrist and hand ailments have caused me to favor necks similar to the Fender Am. Std. profile.
