I'm going to buy my next guitar and I found these Harley Benton guitars and they seem to have pretty good reviews. But I have just a little concern. It's the neck. It would seem that on the ST62 DLX the neck is thicker and I'm worried that it might be uncomfortable to play for long. My old guitar which was a squier affinity had a c shape. This has a "modern d" shape. For those who have it, how different is it from a c shape? And for last, is there any quality difference between the DLX and MN? Because if the neck is that much fatter, I would probably steer for the MN and I wanted to know if it's worst in quality or it's just the looks that make the DLX more expensive.
Thank you!

I have both a standard squier with a modern c neck and the harley benton st-62 with c neck Sincerely if you are looking for a thin neck the st-62mn is not good the same for the dlx that has the modern d. In any case it is a matter of habit on YouTube, there are those who are defined as too big a handle and therefore tiring, but it depends on your hand and you're used to the paul. Modern C is thin of C.
In any case, every instrument must be tried before the purchase, the feeling you have is too important, often then it also changes from instrument to instrument even between equal instruments. For example, I found a squier vibe 50 not satisfactory, while a custom 60 was perfect for my needs, yet apart from the aesthetics and the woods used (I'm talking about telecaster) the hardware was the same as the neck profile. Don't trust too often the specifications written by Thomann often wrong, for example te-50 and st-62 same neck C but it's absolutely not so on you-50 is more thin C while st-62 is bigger. Also YouTube video are Often misleading and sponsored so not are really (fortunly not all)

Theres a video review on here somewhere on the dlx and the guy can barely get his hand around the neck. the only other difference as far as i know is asthetics...i.e. the gold hardware

Both necks are very similar. The DLX is a little thinner but nothing that makes a real difference. I described it here. New DLX models have a thicker "sustain block":
