Fender C shape and V shape necks

Post by Gilmourish »

I'm looking into getting a strat (most probably a american deluxe) and have the option of C or V. I would usually just go for the C because that's what I'm used to. But the V allows me to have a 2-tone sunburst which i dig :P

Is there that much difference any comments as to feel etc?

thanks guys

It depends entirely on the type of V. There are soft V's and hard V's.

I like both - but I've never played a Fender neck that I didn't like. Soft V's are kind of in between a full V and a C. They're more rounded, but still have a V-like profile. Hard V's are basically triangular with rounded points.

My suggestion is to go to guitar center or a bigger guitar store and try some Fender's with V necks. It's the only way you'll know for sure.
