Blaster Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I've noticed that there is mention that the Historic reissue of the '57 LP Custom Black Beauty model some have thin neck profiles. I use to own an original model from '57 and the neck was thick and round like a baseball bat. Does anyone know which Historic models of the Les Paul Custom Black Beauty are the ones that have a thick rounded neck? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm sure Gibson has made several with slimmer necks but '57 reissues generally have thick/fat baseball bat necks. Same with '68RI Customs but, from what I've read, the '68RIs at Guitar Center have slim necks. Newer regular (weight-relieved) Customs have a slimmer neck but it's still fairly fat. Somewhere in between a Gibson USA '50s neck and a '57 VOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Australian Sun Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 All in how many neck profiles are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dk1959 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I have a 57 historic Custom. VOS, the neck on this guitar is the slimmest and fastest neck I have ever played. Its plays itself. Im going to go play it now. regards david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
