Question ESP/LTD "U" and Flat Necks.

so before I start I did do a search and couldnt find anything on them so dont neg rep me for posting this

Anyway, I was looking at the esp website and noticed that they have four different neck types, the "U", Thin "U", Thin Flat, and Extra Thin Flat.

What I wanted to know was what are the differences on them?

extra thin flat, think wizard. thin u is more wizard 2.
thin u is more schectery, and thin flat is more jackson DK type
clearly thats not exact, but its the closest comparison i could find

Thin U is a basic guitar profile, it's kinda like the strat neck it's just normal
