What is a speed neck?

Is it like slimmer and faster, easier to move place to place on?

I´m assuming you mean Jackson´s quot;Speed Neckquot;, as most other manufacturers have other names for their profiles.... But please stop me if I´m barking up the wrong tree

The Jackson Speed profile is a thin, hard D, similar to a classical in general feel (some refer to it as quot;slightly blockyquot;, becasue many prefer a more rounded contour. IMO ideally suited for shredders or players with a classical background, these necks provide a very quot;used toquot; feel for most classical players, while still coercing you to keep your hand in a classical position if you´re not from that background.....

On the other hand, if you´re more of a hendrix or Jeff beck style quot;Hand around the whole neckquot; fretter, you´ll almost certainly hate the profile as you´ll likely find it tiring quickly, and may want to rather consider the more quot;C-ishquot; profile of a Rhoads or Soloist

Specs: The speed profile is .775quot; @ 3rd fret tapering to .835 @ the 12th, again with a quot;hard Dquot; feel.
