Wow, thanks alot for your help, i will get out there when i have the money together and get playing on a few. I think the 60's neck is my prefer choice because they are fatter, although i have never played a 50's before. I have played a range of guitars with slim necks, but i have never been able to get along with them. Something just feels so right when i play my epiphone les pauls.
I aprechiate that i will never recreate this one exactly, but i love the sound of this les paul and there is a kind of squeaky sound to the notes (if that makes sence) that i really love. This is ultimalty what i would like to achieve with a les paul, any advice?
