I prefer a 12" radius. I can live with 9.5".

7.25 screws up my barre chords and bends.

I prefer a wide neck (my Fenders wind up with "C" or "D" neck widths) but I can play a vintage radius with no problems. I am otherwise pretty indifferent to neck profile but I think I prefer the tone from a thick neck.

I usually play with heavy strings and sometimes a high action.
