Thickness of an LP 60's neck?

[HolyDirt]

well, up to this point i only recall playing a 50's style les paul neck, how thick is a 60's slim taper? i want another guitar with a neck not too much thicker than a strats...

The 60 slim tapered necks are a bit thicker than the strats, but no where as thickas the 50 styled rounded neck. I personally don't mind them but alot of people here tend to stray away from the 60 styled neck. Either way i dont mind both, but if i was to see what feels right for me i'd say possibly the 59' rounded profile feels more right for a les paul, thinner encks seem right for strats and other bolt ons.

I've got Paulys with both type necks. I love em all !!!! I certainly don't mind the 60's neck. Both necks feel super to me.

My 60's neck is super fast... if that's technically accurate. However, my hand gets tired when doing more complicated chords for any stretch of time. I sort wish I had gone with the standard neck.

I have played both and prefer the '60 slim taper. You just can't beat the speed of that slim taper.

Sounds like someone should stay away from the LPs.

LOL!!!!!!!! I personally love the feel of the LP necks. I dont mind the paint, even if im used to the unfinshed strat feel. I like both. If i had a chocie id take unfnsihed but regardless just shave the enck man if you dont liek the glossy paint job. I think it looks great and feels good enough to play.
