Neck profile

[thePRSlover]

Hi all

I have a Les Paul standard 2012 and I liked the neck so much, is there is a neck profile close to it or is the same that Warmoth offers

Do you have measurements of the 2012 neck?

It is probably asymmetrical, and the closest dimensionally I think would be the Wolgang profile with a 1 11/16" nut width. It is unlikely to be the same.

the wolfgang seems right, the thickness is 20.6 mm or there abouts.

That is likely then the closest you will get, but how it will feel to you compared to your existing neck is of course subjective.

I’d never had guessed LP necks to be asymmetrical.

I’d never had guessed LP necks to be asymmetrical.

That happened about 15 years ago, when Gibson released a redesigned LP Standard — "modern" (more routing) weight relief, long neck tendon, asymmetric neck, new electronics, etc. — and renamed the prior spec model the the LP Traditional — swiss-cheese weight relief, short tendon, '50s round neck, etc.

As @DuckBaloo mentioned, not all of them, but quite a few are. My own Les Paul has an asymmetrical neck, though in practice it is not something I notice. I played a few in the store and got the one that felt right to me. I narrowed it down to two of the same model, but one just had something about it over the other.

Weren't the 2012s like a total departure from the norm? Or was it the 2015s

Basically, the only way to know for sure is to measure your neck.

I played an original evh, a blue one my friend bought at the time. The neck was tiny!
Very narrow at the nut compared to all the 1 11/16 necks I had.

I see the evh necks as a funky fender shape more than a gibson one.
