Kasper Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Anyone know what kind of neck the new Gibson ES 339 2014 have. I believe it could be one of these three: 59 thick, 60 slimtaper or 30k 60? The gibson webpage isn't updated I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR9 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I think there are still 2 choices as there were in the original run. 59 profile and 30/60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much, Bernie. Might you happen to know what 30/60 stands for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR9 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 30/60 stand for 30 thousandths over (bigger) a 1960 profile. The 60 profile is normally the thinnest profile normally made so a 30/60 would be just slightly bigger than a 60 profile and smaller than a 59 profile.

Bernie69 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Right CR9! below an excerpt of the 339 features on the Gibson site As for playability, the ES-339 offers the player a choice of superb neck feels. The rounded ’59 profile replicates the slightly chunky yet fast carve of late ’50s Les Pauls and ES-335s, while the new 30/60 profile comes closer to the thin necks of the early ’60s, but with an added .030-inches of depth for increased comfort and grip.
