Hi All,

I'm interested in testing out some different neck profiles to find one that is most comfortable for my carpal tunnel.

I have an idea of making up some various false neck profiles out of something like balsa that I can stick to the back of my Mini Maton neck and try out.

I think most acoustics I have had are 'c' shape.

I have fairly short stumpy fingers, with a rather large hand. What profiles would you guys recommend?

Also, If I was to stick a false profile onto my existing neck, what would you recommend not to ruin the finish?

I'm not sure how you'd plan on carving another profile and sticking it onto an existing neck. Small differences are going to make a big difference.

How about running strips of masking tape down the length of the neck to build it up into a different profile. Pretty easy and cheap to do.
