reading that interview clicked me on to a few things that I have noticed about Gibsons I have played in the past or heard played live.  1st being that the "good ones" to my ear have been the lighter ones. And 2nd there was no correlation between how expensive the model actually was either a...

interesting  have you heard of this being done or have done it yourself? and do you know of such shop?

I made the mistake of trying my friends Agile wide 1 3/4 LP  it was very nice to my fat fingers  .. I just measured my largest finger contact area it its like 12-13 MM    I can tell a difference, believe it or not between the two nut sizes 

they dont have it in 1 3/4    :dontknow:

I dont trust Gibson and its overpriced  I read this interview the other day and it was very interesting--I tend to believe him,,,  http://www.dinosaurrockguitar.com/new/node/240    very interesting read

I wonder if not getting a maple top on the body would relive some of the highs and even it out to compensate for the scale and neck type

do you have or have played extensively a LP versus your Warmoth ? and what have you personally found.

oh I shoulda made it clear that I need 1 3/4

my scare is even though everybody loves Warmoth and I have read a LOT of reviews and talked to some people about them, which they all like the guitars, some say that the 25.5 scale and the bolt on necks when trying to emulate a LP doesnt work as entend as it brightens and thins the sound a bit...

lol  lots of passive aggressiveness in this thread so far

what does that do to a person who is looking for a classic LP build and tone ?  I just saw that I can only get a bolt on neck  :sad1:

just checking thanks

ok I am confused now.. so I would think that a larger radius (flatter board)  would relieve the cramping in the finger tips (not talking about the overall hand comfort)  I want to break up the two  --  overall access to comfort of chording via whole hand mechanics  versus  the finger tips...

ill look into the compound radius .. but why not just get a constant large radius? like a full 16 .. wouldnt that relieve some of the cramp from chording?  can you explain how radius changes the way it relieves fingers or visa versa  thanks

i should say its not that my hands are large  its that my fingers are thick (finger tips )
