Electric guitar neck -- wide or slim?

Which is suggested to be better for traditional blues playing, as far as electric guitar necks is concerned, wider or narrow guitar necks? Does having more distance between strings make it easier to press chords without touching strings played open?


Slim or wide neck


Any advice?

@Jesus Prieto I think this is just personal preference. I'm pretty picky about the way my guitars feel this is one of those features of guitars that really doesn't matter much to me. However, over the years I've heard a lot of bluesy players say that they like thicker necks so that have more to grab on to for those big string bends. The only way to decide for yourself is to go play as many guitars as you can to see what you like.
