  1. Thanks, Nick. Yeah, the Luthier's Choice neck is a little shallower in profile, than on my SJ.. I had a Fullers Gibson J35, 1939 Reissue with the Luthier's Choice neck, which as you say is more of a D shape, but whas nice and wide (1.77).. I always wondered which luthiers came up with it and when? It was beautiful with a real nice vintage dark sunburst. My SJ is a real handful, but I find it comfortable. I've played s few vintage SJs from the late 40's or early 50's and they feel even bigger. I would like to try a Smeck with the original over 2" wide neck at the nut. Most players seem to convert the to more "modern" widths. Does your SJ have a bound neck? Swang on,
  2. Hey J45nick, I think I may have two big neck Gibsons like yours. My Southern Jumbo Banner Reissue is one of the 50 they did for John Thomas' Gibson Girls book, where they copied s few of his guitars. I love the big unbound fat neck (kinda like a 50's LP jr.). My L00 Legend is from 2007 it has a big hard V 30's style neck, copied from Leroy Parnell's. Both of these guitars have opened up a lot in the last couple of years. They are great for swinging jazzed up chords like the guys (and girls) who play back up the Texas fiddle contests.Both full 1 3/4 at the nut. Both keepers. Swang on.
  3. Howdy fellow pickers, been getting back into acoustic guitars. Recently acquired a used L00 Legend and love the big V neck, small body, vintage burst and great tone. I used to have a late 60's J45 "pencil neck" with a 1 9/16" neck at the nut, back in the early 70's... Drove me crazy trying to fit my fingers between the strings, so moved on and and after alot of various guitars am finally back to a Gibson (with a nice fat neck),. Mainly flatpick old time jazz and swing standards. Seen a few threads I'd like to chiime in on, so took the plunge. :) Swang on,
