I am no expert so this might sound stupid but anyway 8)

I heard somwhere that a bend sounds better on a wider neck. And yea thats basicly it...So is it true? The wider the neck the better the bend sound?

I've got a guitar with a fat neck and a thin neck, and I think that I can bend better with the thin neck, but people have different hand sizes, so go to a music store and try it.

For me it's not the thickness or width of a neck that affects bends. It's the radius. Smaller radius, more difficult bends.

Yeah, that too. Also, the gauge of the strings.
