lesterpaul Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 looking to get a firebird with the widest neck and good quality as a player not a museum piece, had a 72 that i loved but its gone....let me know your opinion, or for that matter the fattest gibson neck you can think of..thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I can only chime in on 3 examples for 3 years: 2005, 2007 and 2013. Of the three, the 2013 has the roundest neck profile, the 05 and 07 were shallow but wide. If you're looking for baseball bat 50s style neck I don't think you'll find it on a Firebird. The Lucille's neck is pretty stout, the 335 Fat Neck is like a war club and my 2005(?) Les Paul Studio has a rather fat neck as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPARKLEJET Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 My 09 CS FB V has a very fat neck. It's definitely a love/dislike thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
