Since I first responded to this back in March, I've added a 1943 SJ Fuller's re-issue, which is a really, really nice guitar. Since this photo was taken, the pickguard has been re-positioned, vintage bone pins have been added, and the original screwed-in endpin has been replaced by a properly-done tapered bone endpin.

 

It's a wonderful-sounding guitar, and that Luthier's Choice neck is really WIDE.

Good lord, that is a thing of beauty Nick !

 

I went down memory lane also and seems I had four at that time, which has grown to six since.

 

No question I have more Gibsons than I need, but then what I need and what I want are two different things ....much to guitar manfuacturers delight ... :rolleyes:

 

btw: is that your backyard in Florida, looks like you live in the Amazon jungle !

That's our little suburban jungle in Florida. The Australian tree fern just behind the guitar should make you a bit nostalgic.......

What profile is that neck ?

What profile is that neck ?

 

A Gibson expert like Jeremy Morton or modoc_333 could probably describe it properly. I would call the cross-sectional profile a "flattened D" shape. Because of the width of the fretboard (about like a JB), the neck would be fairly massive in a more traditional V-profile. The total cross-sectional area is probably similar to that of a V-neck, but the distribution of area is quite different. It is generally shallower than the V-neck.

 

By the way, every Gibson I own (six right now) has a different neck profile.

Aww shucks fellers, thanks for the compliments. It's a good thing it suits my needs cause I would never be able to afford another Gibby without stumbling onto another deal such as my beater.

Lucky I can afford the Chinese and strange French stuff.

 

Only differences that you may spot in the photos; Grover chrome button tuners replaced with Kluson SD9005MNP butterbeans orig. pins replaced with Pearse buffalo horn MOP inset, and orig nut and saddle replaced with bone (compensated saddle)

 

Think I've posted these before but since I'm forced inside by the weather and spending my time here....for your viewing pleasure,
