Hi Guys.

 

I have a lovely Les Paul Classic Antique in Desert burst. I LOVE IT TO BITS!!! ahaha. Its got the 60's slim taper neck which i love :D

Lately ive been taken in and found my self in the position of wanting a Les Paul Custom in the white, but i dont like the necks. I did some research and i found that Gibson make a Les Paul Custom with the 60's slim taper neck. YAYAYAYAYA!!

 

But i was wondering.... is it really that different to my classic antique? Thanks in advance.
