I occasionally hear people talk about the thickness of a neck, yet while researching uke purchases online, I can never get a good sense of how thick or thin (as opposed to wide or narrow) a neck is, and that tends to be an important factor in how a uke feels when you play it.
Do any of the big ukulele brands (from Kala to Kamaka) have signature neck thicknesses? In other words, can one say that Ponos, for example, generally have thick necks, or that Martins generally have thin necks, etc.? Or does it vary a lot from model to model within a particular brand? Buying ukes online, I've often found the necks to be chunkier than I expected. I would love to know how each of the big brands match up to each other in the neck thickness department. Anyone with data?
