For acoustic I like 1 11/16ths, oil finish and baseball bat like, I guess that's the soft v. But I'll play anything. My favorite electric neck is 24.75 scale, 1 5/8 wide and shallow c shaped with a compound radius. Oil or gloss. Ibanez-like.
For nylon string I like the gloss finish, 1 7/8, flat c. Differnt necks for different things.

I'll vote for gloss. You can always rub it down with 0000 steel wool or coarser if you want that. The other two questions are straight forward.

Since I didn't see Julianne Moore listed in any of the choices, I went "middle of the road" on all of 'em . . .

I don't really HAVE a "preferred" neck.
If it's GOT a neck, I'll play it.

I never gave the matter much thought. I had to go look at my favorite guitars and they have a gloss finish neck. I guess finish isnt that big of a deal.

I definately would prefer a 1 11/16 nut though, I can play the wider neck but prefer the narrower one.
