personally i prefer C shape necks but a malmsteen neck is a modern C shape so it would be easy to fit on Squier's without a problem right?

The neck on my Strat project is a U I believe. Much beefier than my old Strat's.

I also think you should get a whole guitar, rather than add a signature neck to a half decent one.

No, buy a whole guitar. If you want a Malmsteen guitar, buy the whole thing.

I like a relatively chunky C shape, and Vs are quite nice too.

The profile of the neck makes absolutely no difference to whether or not it fits on a body.

As long as it's not broken, backbowed, warped, or twisted, it's fine with me.

I prefer them all. Each has it's own feel, sound, and inspiration, pluses and minuses.

I'd go nutz with one type of neck shape. :shock:

Tonight I'm practicing with two modern, flat oval necks, a soft C, a modern C! After that, hmmm...I could go with a hefty, sort of flat-fat U or ...maybe...a standard C shape, or both!

Fatter necks usually have thicker tone and longer, clearer sustain but are slowish depending upon how they are setup, n' visa versa with thinner necks.

If stuck on a desert island...tough one. Compound radius, 7 1/2 to 12" flattish, fattish, softish, modernish C shape to U.
