The arteries in the neck are very large (to supply blood to the brain), and fairly close to the surface because of all the other stuff in the neck (muscles, spine, trachea, esophagus). So the ebb and flow of blood as your heart pumps can be visible on the surface of the skin.

How do you tell a Spanish heel neck from a dovetail neck on a guitar?

To distinguish a Spanish heel neck from a dovetail neck on a guitar, examine the neck joint. A Spanish heel neck features the neck carved from the same piece of wood as the body, creating a seamless transition without a visible joint. In contrast, a dovetail neck has a separate neck that fits into a joint shaped like a dovetail, typically visible at the body where the neck meets. Additionally, the Spanish heel often results in a thicker body at the neck joint, while the dovetail may allow for a more pronounced neck angle adjustment.
