neck profiles

[jakatone]

can anyone tell me what is the difference between the 59 les paul rounded and 60´s slim taper neck profile?

on my LP studio the profile is the 59 so i know how it feels......what the difference....is the 60 closer to fender??

the 60's is a slimmer faster neck and is more remniscent of the fast necks of metal guitars such as schecter. i do believe that it is more like a few fender neck also. i have the vm too and i like the wide neck. the best way to see is to try both at a guitar store.

Its hard to pigeon hole a Fender neck.

They come in all shapes and sizes.

My Stevie Ray Vaughan Strat has a thick Oval shape neck. The biggest neck Fender ever made.

Trust me, its like twisting a baseball bat....but thats part of what gives that guitar its sound.

 

My 70's Strat has a "U" shaped neck...again its a thick neck, and not for everyone.

Fender has "V" necks, soft"V" necks, "C" shaped..."D" shaped.

So as I said, its hard to pin point a Fender neck.

 

My LP has the 60's Taper...beautiful feeling in my hands. The 50's felt huge, and

I already have my Strats to cover that field.

i have small hands,so it´s a lot easier for me to play a gibson than a fender.do you think that a 24 3/4 scale and a 60´s neck would do it more easier....cause i have Vm with a 50´s neck....it´s really fat
