Shamus Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Greetings After I recently purchased my ES335 (Incredible Guitar). I have been looking at the 57 Goldtop or 58 Les Paul.I have a 2007 Standard which has been awesome and it has the 60's neck so I really do not want to part with it. However I like the 57 and the 58 which would be a great compliment to my ES335 and my Les Paul Standard.LET THE SAVING BEGIN!!! Just wondering what peoples opinions are. I just[biggrin] love my Gibsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillybilly Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 if you like a 60s neck, you might not like a 57 or 58....especially the R7s. you might look into a plaintop R0 or a G0, but even those necks tend to thicker than the USA 50s neck. other than that, they are fantastic instruments.

sok66 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 R7s and R8s are virtually identical except for finish and have the big, beefy (tone enhancing) necks. A wise man (who became president of Gibson long ago) told me a musician will put up with any neck to get the sound he's after...words to live by.
