heavy thumb Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I noticed that the new es-335 pro is listed as having a 1960s slim taper neck. Does any other epiphone electrics have that also? I have a 1960 es 330 and would like to get an epiphone. I have played several different ones but just don't care for the neck profile. No one around here has a 335 pro in stock for me to try. I sure would love to have a 335 or es175 with a 1960s neck profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I believe you will find that most Epi models have the 60's neck. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMak3103 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I do not believe that most Epi has '60s neck, in fact my Epi LP Custom Pro has a fatter neck compare to my Lp Tribute, which has '60s neck. AFAIK, the Epi LP Tribute & Tribute+ has the '60s slim taper neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I think Epiphone's definition of "60's slim taper" is quite variable. The neck on my ES-355 is advertised as slim taper but is more of a 50's baseball bat (not complaining, I like the neck a lot). I don't recall how the Elitist Dot was advertised, but on mine the neck is much slimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 2 different tapers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johntrem Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I believe you will find that most Epi models have the 60's neck. :) Epiphone might say that but it varies mightily. My '04 LP Standard has a '60's slim taper neck. I recently played a Joe Bonamassa Firebird. Talk about a baseball bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
