Sorry if this is in the wrong Forum.
Seem's like most people agree that the 59 style neck is by far the most popular. Every MIJ manufacture seems to get this. Nearly every model i've ever seen comes with that size.
So how come the only Gibson's that come with 59 style necks are the $5,000 R9 custom shop models. Feels like they are trying to force you to by the most expensive model they make if you want to get the features that everyone knows are the best! Anything that was on the lower or more average price scale over the last 10 years had the 60's (too thin) or 50's (too think) style neck. For example- LP standards (at least 2002-2008), LP Classics, LP Traditional, SG standards, SG 61 RI, ES 335's which would seem like the bulk of Gibson sales were not offered with 59 style necks. I'm not sure about studios and sg specials.
Ironically, my low budget 2007 SG classic seems to have the closest thing to 59 neck specs.
