I’d say the neck is a very soft v... more of a C in the first position, almost a C... it gets a bit chunkier towards the body. comfortable for me and I have smallish hands, in fact it’s kind of spoiled me on playing other guitars. Most comfortable neck I’ve come across.

I've only ever played one. Superb guitar but the neck was the worst feature - a nice width but fat and uncomfortable, like the wrong end of a baseball bat. I'm not fussy about neck size and shape so long as the thing is wide enough to fit fingers, and after the first five minutes I got used to it. Delightful instrument: I very, very nearly bought it and the weird neck shape played no part in my decision not to.

Mine is a TOM-R. I love the neck on it. That's one of the main reasons I bought it.

Cheers.
I go between my H&D and my Taylor without any issue or any real noticeable difference....and I am a little guy with small hands.

Really nice neck profile, medium c ish.? from memory. I played one back to back in a local store with the Collings 000-2H. I went home with the Collings as I was told that the H&D was already sold. Tough decision had it not been! I do recall that the H&D was sweeter sounding but less powerful than the Collings which has a more direct, fundamental tone. I was impressed enough to make my next purchase a H&D and settled on a Ds-12 custom.
