I'm currently playing a music man super sport which has an amazingly playable neck. It got me wondering about the huge variety of neck profiles and hand sizes as we are not all the same. I guess I love the feel and shape of my guitar neck because I have medium size hands and it fits so well.
Any advice out there on recommended neck shape and size for small/medium hands?

Depends on the maker and model. For instance, Gibson Les Paul's. There is the traditionals 50's profile or the 60's slim taper. The 50's is a thicker neck. It has it's advantages but for overall playablity for me, 60's slim taper. But, it's not the Ibanez JEM slim...But given my hands, and I would descibe them as similar to yours, I don't overly enjoy the JEM slim. I don't hate it but I like a little something to grip on to.
So, you get the deal. It does depend on the actual model. Feel....which is to say, ya gotta play to know.
