Curious on why you wouldn't go higher than 1 11/16, as it indicates you either have some general trouble with 1 11/16 being too wide, or that you've tried 1.75 width electric necks enough to have some rare experience with them. This is not snark, I'm genuinely curious (even though preference for neck width varies from player to player). I ask because I've considered 1.75 on an electric myself, but haven't done it.

Flatter radius (higher radius number) is something I'd agree with BTW.
