I once sold a Larrivee because I just couldn't get along with the neck - I never knew why. Now I know it was the flat fingerboard that I wasn't getting along with . I was just learning Barre chords and really struggled with that guitar. I now own a Froggy Bottom guitar with the same flat fingerboard - I still don't really like the shape, but the tone of the guitar is enough to make me keep the guitar anyway. If I were to order a custom it would certainly be 14" or 16". I'd love to try a 12" - might be better, or might be too much of a good thing...
This spec is certaintly something I'm interested in when purchasing a guitar, but not a deal breaker, so I don't stress about it too much.
