WayneW Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Is the neck on the Epi Lucille the same as the neck on the Dot 335 or is it more like the neck on a Les Paul? I once read that BB King wanted to have the sound of a 335/345 with the neck of a Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Don't know, about Epi "Lucille's," but I have a Gibson "Lucille," and the thing I noticed, right away, was that the neck was of more girth, than my Gibson Les Pauls (any of them) and my Epiphone Riviera. So...I can't really answer your question, as to "Epiphone" versions, but...with the Gibson's, it probably closer to a '50's Les Paul. B.B. has very large hands, so it may feel like a typical "Les Paul" neck, to HIM?! LOL! I have, what I would call "normal sized" (not big, not small) hands, and "Lucille" is a "handful," for sure...but not uncomfortably so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug music Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 My Epi Lucille's neck feels closer to a Les than any 335 I've played, but like C.B. said it feels chunkier like a vintage style neck. I'd probably call it a "fat C" neck (in Fender terms). It's tough to say since Les necks have seem to come in a variety of sizes over the years, and I've never played a vintage 335 to compare. It is however one of the nicest most comfortable necks I've played, and my hands aren't huge. Hopefully this helps. - Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
