I'd also suggest the thinner neck profile for another reason -- I think you're more likely to get closer to JP's tone with the thinner neck. JP's #1 was apparently a late '59 or early '60 as it had a profile more like what we think of as the '60s slim carve today. IME, that will have an affect on the tone. You can read about it a bit more here. Great video with JP discussing the guitar as well.
And also, I want to compliment you and doing something so thoughtful for your dad!
