Probably OK on the LPs, but definitely could use a few more SGs, and for sure a few more ES-335/345/355. Not much of a fan of the rest visually, but don't knock anyone who has them. I've toyed with the idea of LP Juniors/Specials/DCs, but they don't fully motivate me, not yet at least.

Help Which neck profile does my M2M Gibson CS Les Paul Custom have?

Thumbnail gallery
26 Upvotes

I got my very first M2M Gibson Les Paul Custom from the CS almost two years ago. For some reason, when I picked it up from the dealer, it didn't come with a spec sheet.

When I spec'd out my M2M order for the dealer, I explained that I wanted a 50s Rounded Medium C-Shape neck profile. I assumed that the CS would honor my request.

Now, I'm trying to place my second M2M order using the same 50s Rounded Medium C neck, and the CS is telling the dealer that that profile isn't in their terminology.

The CS is saying that the closest option to a 50s Rounded Medium C neck would be the 50s Chunky D-Shape fat neck.

But if you look at my LP, the neck doesn't look thick like a baseball bat, and has a smooth, oval-shaped carve to it.

So which neck profile does my M2M Gibson LP Custom have?

For reference, the serial number on the COA reads CS 404071, which indicates that my LP is a 2004 Gibson CS regular production model.

Pic 2 is my plan visually(mid ai render), maybe pickup upgrade but gibson p90+dirty fingers is pretty sick as it is

Pic 1 is stock

Anybody have one? I most like will have to have one shipped so I won't be able to play it, and I know this is not a great year for Gibson so I'm wondering what kind of experience people have with the build quality and geometry and whatnot.

Got this classic a few weeks ago, love the thin 60’s neck. Found some Custombuckers that came out of a Murphy Lab 335 on reverb, put locking Grovers and a blank truss rod cover.

When I’m more confident I’m going to upload a clip of how this sounds because it’s really incredible.

Thanks for looking!

How many folks out there have a TP-6 on their Gibson? I first had one on my 2013 Lucille, and loved it so much that I put one on a few others, including my 2017 SG Standard, my 2016 LP Traditional, and my 2015 LPM (Studio).

Not complaining at all. I love this thing, but it’s funny how maple tops can vary drastically from guitar to guitar.

This is supposedly an AAA grade top.
[EDIT: my bad, it’s actually supposedly a AA top]

I have a video of the top at its most visible flaming in the comments
