How wide is it? I do not like wide necks. but have no problem with thick necks.

I do not know what he means with meatier, but in my experience neck dimensions do not say much about the way wood sounds and responds. (My shadow has the thinest and smallest neck and is acoustically the best sounds Rick I've ever owned.)
