I use a half inch roundover bit in my table router and round off the back of all my necks. I suppose it would be personal preference, but I would think either a chamfered or rounded over neck would be preferable to most players.

Chamfer is still better than a square neck, but if you don't only play on your laps, round neck is better for your hands comfort.
As I have read here, the first sensation of a guitar player is the neck, if it isn't comfortable, all the work you done on the guitar is lost time.

If you're going to chamfer the neck you are more than half way to a radiussed neck so just continue "chamfering" the new corners you have created .....result a nice comfy neck

That's a good point Michael. I think I've come to that conclusion also. Thanks.
