Does anyone have experience with both the Allparts V and Mighty Mite V necks?

need a maple neck for a partscaster and want to try a V shape.
Just not sure how these two differ, specifically in the V profile.

is one a harder V than the other?

I have a Warmoth V profile, not the Clapton, but the boatneck that I like. Just want to try a different one.
Any input would be appreciated.

I have a Mighty Mite V, but I've never tried an Allparts neck.

The Mighty Mite neck feels very different from my other guitars' necks ("C" shapes, I guess) when I grab it to pick the guitar up, but the V shape really doesn't make much difference when I'm playing -- it's no more and no less comfortable than any of the others. I suspect I wouldn't notice much difference between it and an Allparts V either, if the radius, frets, and finish were the same.

I really like its thin satin finish.

I used to be a Mighty Mite dealer and have a Mighty Mite V necks on 2 of my Teles. I'm also an Allparts dealer and have had untold Vs through my hands...

MM is a medium V. Much more noticeable than the Allparts but still comfortable enough for the thumb on the back of the neck when required.
Allparts is definitely a soft V. Feels fuller in the hand. Feel great. Still a noticeable taper but much softer in the middle. Wish they made them with taller frets.

Note that there will always be variances between necks due to final sanding. I've had some Allparts Vs that had a more noticeable centre ridge but on the whole they have been soft.

Thank you for the the reply.
This is the info I was looking for.
I was wanting a more pronounced V shape.
I wish I had read this earlier as I ordered the allparts neck this morning.

thank you again for the input.
