Maple in a soft-v would be perfect. For me. 8)

The v-necks are great for me since I can feel the subtle line and use it as a point of reference for my left hand positioning. It helps keep me consistent.

I also go for chunky rosewood. The neck on my Beck Strat is my favorite Fender neck.

Thin L series style neck,rosewood or maple, although maple wasn't too common in the Lseries necks.
