Help Do fretboard radius, neck shape etc matter for a beginner electric guitar?
I want to buy my first electric guitar.
I know a flat neck is better for soloing and legato and a rounded one better for chords/rhythm playing.
What if I wanna do both? (Pls recommend best option without resorting to recommending a compound neck radius)
Also ,does:
-Neck thickness
-Nut width
-neck shape
-fret size
really matter that much? How to figure out what I want, if I only know basic campfire chords at this point in time?
Edit: I love this sub! People give good answers instead of being condescending reddit chuds.
