IMO. The Pro-Construction CBS Fatback or Boatneck profiles with 6105 SS wire are the best Strat/Tele necks available anywhere on the planet. The more wood in the neck the more tone, the more stability, the more longevity. If you think it's too big, warm up on a classical guitar with a 2 inch nut width and a Boatneck or Fatback will feel like a toothpick.

I found that the Clapton just fit in my hand perfectly.  I did purchase a standard thin to try it out and see how I liked it.  I'll know more when the build is complete.

i think a nice D profile on their necks would kickass, im probaly gonna order a fatback and then sand is down to a nice D profile, something tells me sanding a standard thin will turn it into a wizzard shape, not up for that one like.

I have a classical guitar, FAT is thicker! I don't like the U shape on the FAT, a C shape (around 0.94") is missing from the shapes they offer.
