Default N2 NECK vs CA

I am considering trying a CA because of the cramping issues I've been having in my neck hand. What are the differences in the N2 I'm currently playing and the CA Legacy neck?
I do want to stay with the dred size body.

I have an old Rainsong with the N1 neck, as well as a CA Legacy.

The CA neck feels wider and thinner with a flatter radius....

Have a Rainsong N2 and had a prePeavey CA Legacy. CA is thinner but for me had an annoying widening as you went up the neck (may not be an issue for a non thumb grabber), seemed like sharper sides. I believe the Legacy neck stayed the same with Peavey.

Wider or thicker doesn't sound like what I'm looking for. Hopefully I can find one to try.
Thanks

The N2 neck is more like some vintage Gibson necks - rounder & deeper with more meat in the shoulders than the CA. The CA is more like a Taylor neck, much slimmer than the N2 with a low profile & less meat in the shoulders.

Based on what I've read, I would certainly be interested in finding or trading my H DR1000 N2 to the same Dred-style with the N1 neck or another brand Carbon Dred size guitar with a slimmer neck.

DR1000 been around for a while you should be able to pick up on with a N1 used.

Vance,
Ok not the Dread but the WS1000 is probably the best guitar they make. This one has the N1

Hmmm, the link wouldn't open.
I'll try again later.
Thanks for the heads up.
