This is my first post and I hope I am on topic.

I am an amateur when it comes to Guitar playing and have an old Samick Ls11 electric guitar that has come to its end of life. I will ask separate questions about its current condition, but for now I plan to buy a new one from something like Jackson brand.

Samick is a cheap Strat imitation and it appears that it has a typical C shaped neck which is quite comfortable on my thumb.

As per info I have gathered, Jackson Guitars (JS series) seem to have a relatively flatter & thinner neck i.e. the back side where one rests his thumb. Under normal amateur playing, would flatter and thinner neck cause any kind of strain on the thumb or is there any difference between playing with C shaped neck and flatter neck that I should be aware of as an amateur player?

Any further inputs would be great to know. Thanks in advance.
