Thumbs up Elitist LP question about necks...please help

Do Elitist LP only come with the Medium/slimmer neck? Most guys who own the GT Elitist say theirs is the slimmer 60s style neck. Are there chunky/fatter necks on elitist LP's?

Oh no no no!!!!!! I think thats the opposite. To me out of the few Elitists I've played, the Goldtop (which I own), is most certainly closer to the medium/fat range, and the most comfortable I've ever owned!

My Elitist standard has a slimmer neck than my Epi standards, but if you got a 57 gold top it should be fatter. I gotta change my strings soon, so I'll caliper it for you if you'd like

Medium/Medium.

59-ish

Not a 50's neck by any means, but not a 60's either.

One of mine was very 59-ish, one was a tad slimmer - but still a bit beefier than a 60's profile.
