Neck radius, neck shape, scale length, neck contour, nut width

In this video I discuss the specifications used to describe the shape, dimensions and feel of a guitar neck.

Scale Length - This can affect the tension on the strings and can be a factor in comfort when playing.

Fingerboard radius - This can affect the height of the strings relative to the fretboard and may have an impact on playability for lead or chord work. There's a great diagram here that explains this http://www.warmoth.com/guitar/necks/Radius.aspx

Neck Profiles - The shape of the back of the neck impacts how the guitar feels in your hands. It can also contribute to issues like tendentious if it's not comfortable.

Nut Width -(hahaha) - can also impact the comfort of the neck

FIngerboard Materials - Ebony, Rosewood, Maple, Baked Maple and others all feel different under your fingers.

Frets - The frets can vary in height, width and material type. Again impacting the feel of your fingers on the board.

Thickness of the neck itself - Some believe that this impacts the tone of the instrument. More wood equals better tone. Though today my focus is only the feel of the neck this thought is worth considering.
