passthej45 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I'm trying to learn more about the different types of neck profiles. Could someone list the types from thickest- to thinest. And also what profile does the J45 standard have, that will give me a reference point. Thanks for the expertise and help....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 PJ5-- here's a couple of the more common profiles currently in use (note, these arent Gibson designations, just descriptions of what Ive run across): Full U (Legend series). aka ballbat. substantial deep profile. Not for everyone one, but folk and thumb over friendly Full C (Slope Js, L00s). Depth ranges from substantial on vintage models(J45 TV) to wide/flat (some Orig. jumbos, L00BKs) to almost low profile. The fuller ones (j45 TV) are folk/thumb friendly, the wide/flats are more of a stretch chords-wise. The thin ones dont support the hand so well imho. Flat C (hummingbird, dove etc). Wide and flat, not too deep, like a 60s Les Paul. Narrow U (J200). kind of a low profile U? 1 11/16- 25.5. V (custom shop). folk/thumb over friendly. Not on regular production models?
