So I've got this neck profile on my Les Paul Tribute. Some days I like it, others not so much. Today is one of the days I like it. I don't think I'll ever like it as much as the 60's Slim Taper on my Modern Lite, but I play this guitar so much that it feels so familiar, and I feel right at home.
Seems like it's middle-of-the-road leaning towards thick. Not super thick to where it's too much, but definitely far from an Ibanez. It's kinda like how the 60's is middle-of-the-road leaning towards thin. Still not an Ibanez, but definitely thin.
But I guess what I wanted to discuss is what is this neck profile based on? I've read the '57/58 neck profile is much thicker than this. Is it more '59-ish, then? What would be the CS equivalent? Is it considered a U shape or a C?
Also, anyone know the specs? Are these hand-carved? Do they vary?
