jwood7729 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Hello All, Are the fingerboards on the Custom Shop historic models narrower than the standard line up? Here are a few close ups. It looks like the modern neck has a little more to it. I noticed the high E string slipped off on the two 63 335 reissues I tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Good question. It does look that way. I had a look at the Gibson.com models pages. I found the details for neck width but not string spread. This is quoted for a ES-335 Dot Nut Width 1.69" / 42.85mm End-of-Board Width 2.24" / 56.92mm There are no modern ES Custom shops on the page. Though Rabs posted this link for back as far as 2015 http://legacy.gibson.com/ Someone here will have an idea as to string spacing (I am sure I've seen it quoted on site specs before). StewMac always have fully dimensions diagrams for replacement bridges. That might be worth checking out until an expert shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
