Default Help me figure out the shape of the neck on my Voyage-Air!

I have decided that of all of the guitars I have owned or played. I want the next one to have this exact neck size and shape. I'm assuming it's 1 11/16 although I've never measured it, but would you call it a Modified Low Oval? Performance Neck? Low Profile?

Obviously not a "V" or "Modified-v", but I'm trying to narrow down a high quality dread with the same neck.

BTW it's a Voyage-Air VAD-04 if that helps.

I think I know the answer to this one!!!

Technically it is " round - low profile"

...at the nut it's a 1" radius and at the 12th fret it's 1 1/8" so if you draw a 2 " dia. circle, go in about 9/16" and draw a line across and that is the shape of the neck at the nut, do the same with a 2 1/4" circle for the 12th fret but go in 13/16". Then draw a rectangle that is .2 thick and you have the fretboard... and the actual shape!
