kyxap Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hello, I want to buy Les Paul Custom 2008 Alpine White through internet, serial is CS83712, but a owner don't know about neck profile installed. How can I get info about neck thiсkness? And I need to know, fake it or not. Thanks! Photos are here: http://dead.org.ua/lpc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Horrible pictures but that is a real LPC. They have rounded profiles and are fatter than a USA '50s neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had owned previously a SG Standard and one of reasons for sale was a fat neck. Is this neck fatter than SG Standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Most likely. Fatter than any SG Standard I've ever played...keeping in mind that necks do vary quite a bit. Aren't there any music stores (or Guitar Centers) near you where you could go and play one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john buck Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi; I'm new to this discussion but saw the thread from Kxyap regards his LPC; usually the Alpine White fakes have a dead giveaway - the pickup securing screws. Most fakes have gold ones (like Epi's) but real CS have matt black philips screws; if stil unsure take the cover off and chec the wiring and pots - the wiring from the jack socket (always gold NEVER Chrome) should go straight to the pots; on the fakes it goes straight through to the pickups. Also take the truss rod cover off; you'll know a fake because the bottom screw fits to fresh air and the top of the truss rod is about two inches into the neck. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john buck Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi; Kyxap Just sen your photos - If thats a fake CSLP its one of the best I've seen and I've seen plenty. I'd be 99% sure to say its genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
