I have a couple of Harmony archtops and a big Silvertone (Kay) flat top and a Catalina archtop (Kay) and some of these necks are "steel reinforced", but either way, they are a fist full.
I can see the reason for the "V" cross-section from a structural standpoint but less so for comfort. It sure made it tough for those of us who drape a thumb over the neck. Mmmm...new subject. <g>
