R9 2010 and 2011 reduced neck shoulders
is Gibson reducing (relaxing) the shoulders on the necks of the 2010 and 2011 models? is the neck profile changed as on the 2009 models? I found this quote in another post: "Neck profile changed - now has less "shoulders" ...thanks...

Re: R9 2010 and 2011 reduced neck shoulders
I definitely notice a difference between my '99 and '10 R9. "Shoulders" definitely feel relieved on the '10 v. the '99. It is particularly apparent from the 9th fret to the nut. There is a 10+ year gap between the 2 so it could just be production variations. But I think it is more likely a reflection of the spec changes that started with the 50th Anniversary production.
