The Melodyman Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Dear Gibson Custom Shop.. I have noticed on my Goldie and all Les Pauls currently made that you have for some reason changed the depth of the cutaway so it no longer is as easy to access the upper frets. In previous Pauls, the cutaway begins at the 19th fret whereas the newer ones begin at the 18th fret. This limits the reach to the upper registers and makes it much harder to play now. You can see the extra distance between the cutaway binding edge and the pickguard on current models whereas there was hardly any gap on earlier models, like my 1980 LP heritage. Is there some reason this is happening? Having owned several Pauls in the last 50 years, I am a bit upset having popped for a Goldie and not being able to access the upper 'A' register as easily as on previous models. is this intentional or a mistake?
