Re: 1973 Gibson ES335 Walnut Look at this neck joint? Replacement? Need opinion

I had a '58 or '59 burst 330 and a '68 cherry 345, but I always wanted a walnut 335. Those are way gorgeous. I am soo jealous.

I don't recall any of the 335s having a fat neck though.

I've played a couple vintage '59 335s that had large-ish necks, but nothing close to the neck on my '07 335 Fatneck. I've heard it's supposed to be a replica of a mid/late '58 335, and it has the earlier long pickguard. The neck is gigantic; it's comparable to an R7 historic or the Fender CS Nocasters.
