I'm considering acquiring a Prucha. Would any of you current owners care to comment on the thin vs normal neck profile? Thanks.

Personally I don't really notice neck depth but fingerboard width is a different matter I like mine wide. The Prucha neck of standard depth and with a wider board is very comfortable to play and feels good all the way the the highest frets. Hope this helps.

Standard neck, width: 1st fret: 1.22 - 1.24" 12th fret: 1.68 - 1.69 22nd fret: 1.92 - 1.93 Wider neck: 1st fret: 1.28 - 1.30 12th fret: 1.72 - 1.73 22nd fret: 1.93 - 1.95 The depths of both necks are the same. 1st fret: .79 - .81 7th fret: .83 - .85 15th fret: .87 - .89
