That was my main gripe withe the 61T, thin and shrill. Ended up replacing them with my preferred 496/500 set. I prefer the enhanced mids and booming lows.
Yes side to side Gibson necks are typically 1.67" to 1.70". The depth though can range from 0,79" - 0.92+". The fatness means front to back only.
Now the exception to the rule is my 2015 Les Paul Special which came stock with the new 'soloist fretboard' with a width of 1.77" but a shallow...
Maybe because the 60's slim taper has more meat on the shoulders where the Wizard necks are close to being flat?? My 2013 LPJ Pro has a similar profile to the Trads. 0.9 - 1.0. Actually my SG Classic has the same measurements.
My Standard 60's is probably the thinnest one I own at .82 - .91...
I'm in the back and forth camp myself. I'll go through a 50's profile phase and then a 60's slim phase for awhile. I play and love both. Hell I could probably be satisfied with a Wizard neck profile and be fine.
Any really. I'm honestly not even sure which I prefer. From my slim taper Standard 60's to the rounded 50's profile of my chunky SG Classic.... I go through phases where sometimes I prefer thin, and sometimes I prefer thick.
Now rarely do I ever want to play a neck that's Wizard thin though...
