I am only familiar with Weber neck profiles.

Researching the Girouard A Mandolins and wondered if anyone familiar with both could comment on the neck profile-if it differs much or is somewhat like the Weber(which I find comfortable).

thank you

Is the Builder available to ask ?

maybe bend a piece of soft [insulated] wire over the neck, behind it, and take a picture?

I have A Weber Gallitin A and a Girouard A model. The Weber has a rounded neck profile and the Girouard has a more pronounced V shape to it. That being said, each suits the individual mandolin perfectly and I have no issues or favorite between the two. They both have a unique tone unto themselves that suites my moods very nicely.

I'm sure if you ask, either can build the neck to your specifications.
