A "normal" C which isn't a bad thing. Ironically the one company that will do custom necks and I would not bother.

Ditto for me too. My experience is primarily with Taylor, Composite Acoustics and Emerald (6/12 Chimaera). Luckily for me, I go between them without problem. To me, the Taylor neck sits in the middle of the CA and Emerald with the CA having just a little flatter back of neck and the Emerald having just a little rounder back of neck. I like all three. Although I think it's great that Emerald offers such a wide range of customizations, I like their standard neck shape just fine and wouldn't pay more to have it modified.
