Revelation Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Can anyone explain the neck, and sound difference between these three guitars? Is there a big difference in sound or just a subtle difference. The 60's is the newer guitar with the T Calibrated pickups. Is the shape of each guitar identical? It seems all use maple and poplar wood. Based on web site info, it seems the width of the neck is not as wide on the reissues 1.687nut width compared to the latest 60's 1.695 nut width. Does that make the reissues easier to play or is the difference two small to really notice. Also it seems the 1961 neck is skinnier than the 64? Did people originally complain about the neck being too skinny on the 335 that they changed it? The 1961 335 Reissue $5,300 The 1964 335 Reissue $5,300 The 60's 335 guitar. $3,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) They can sound different if they all have different Pickups. The Necks can vary in dimension & shape, as well as the Frets, Nuts, Tuners & Bridges... Even if they’re the same model with same specs they can play, feel, look & sound different..

Are they made more consistently now? Who knows, but I sure wouldn't count on it. Gibson is still playing smoke and mirrors with their model descriptions. So the only real difference between a '61 and '64 is that a '64 has a chunkier neck? Good that they are offering 2 neck style, but what so obscure with it? They are not shy about offering different colors of the same model, why not different neck profiles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
