Manjha Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Heya my name is Jimmie and I am new to the Gibson forum....I am 50 years old and a long time Strat player...I have always wanted a Les Paul but for some reason the necks never felt right....anyhow a long story short, I went into a pawn shop the other day and seen a epi Zakk Wylde les paul picked it up and fell in love with the feel of the neck (I bought it even though I never liked sig. guitars) the question is does Gibson make a les paul with the same specks as this one? (I have tried out many at GC and never found one that didnt feel like a bat to me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 You might try an SG with the 60's style neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 ... I have always wanted a Les Paul but for some reason the necks never felt right.... (I have tried out many at GC and never found one that didnt feel like a bat to me) 46 and 2 posted a link for you. Some perfer the 50's "baseball bat" necks. I have a Telecaster (52 AVS) and it's got the fat vintage (baseball bat) neck - the fattest in my collection. I love it. (I never had a problem with different neck sizes - my go from the slimmest 60s tapers to the fattest 50s) Gibson makes necks in the style of 50s, 60s, 60s slim taper, many variations on 50s and 60s, and asymetrical. Here's an interesting chart on necks from the classic years, more variance than you might think - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manjha Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Thanks for the replies....from the what I see now, I might want to look for the 60's style necks....again thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 You're right, 60's is the way to go. I have an LP classic with a thin 60's neck and it is by far the best playing neck I have ever felt for my preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 +1 on the 60's neck profile. Love it on my Classic Antique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
