Neck Radius
This is probably a stupid question but I am still learning here......my question is what does the radius mean. Some are 9.5" some are 10" and some are 12". Is that the overall thickness of the neck? If I want a really thin neck am I better off getting a 9.5" radius?

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything on this.

He said the Shure Beta 87A is a whisperer's mic. Does anyone know what…
