New Standard 50's neck question

[Tonelover]

So I have a number of LP's and I like big necks, I can not lie. My favorite neck of what I own is on a 2013 Traditional which Gibson describes as having a "rounded late-’50s neck shape". Now, I also have a 2010 Traditional Goldtop with a 50's neck profile and it does not feel anywhere as beefy.

My question is about the new Standard 50's. Anyone know where on the scale of 50's neck profiles that these fall? If they are close to or the same as my 2013 Trad I might sell the goldtop and buy one of the new ones.

Its beefy, but in a different way. My 50s goldtop feels like an R7 neck. The Traditionals I've had with a 50s neck felt like R8 neck. If you like 50s neck Traditionals, you'll like the 50s Standard neck (my own personal experience)

i agree i have a traditional and a new 50s standard and the standards neck is different , more rounded 50s super comfortable . great necks

It’s a chunkier neck, but it’s not a U. Very nice profile, I think. It’s fits in my palm very well and satisfying to hold.
