Members rchip Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 ahoy! I've been offered a 57 gold top les paul 2004, it's virtually brand new. It sounds amazing, i think better than a standard les paul, it's got a real open woody sound if that doesn't sound too snoby, sounds kind of hollow but massive at the same time. It's only a little bit more expensive than a used standard, i just think the neck is far too fat. It felt a bit uncomfortable for some chords, is it possible to have the neck reshaped? how much would this cost? It'd like it be just a little fatter than a 60's style neck, if this was possible i'd buy the les paul straight away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rchip Posted November 19, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 well, i don't think i will really, it's way too fat for me but i love the way it sounds. Does anyone know if it can be done and how much it will cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rchip Posted November 19, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hah why would it be a sin? It's only a guitar! Not like it's a real 57 it's just a great sounding les paul, that i feel has a neck too big to be practicle. rynat, do you know how expensive? hah i don't care if it's a tedious task i'm not going to be doing it! I can get the guitar for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members axegrinder Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 I don't see it as a sin, especially if you will keep it. I do think it will likely devalue the instrument if you ever think you'd sell it...I'm just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members underblu Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 I think I remember someone onthe LP forums saying it cost $400 for a neck shave. I had an R7 and loved that guitar. All historics have slightly different neck carves. I liked the fatter R7 neck after I played it for a while, If you love this R7 see if you begin to like the carve after you play it for a while, if not sell it or shave it. Or find an nice G0/R0 which has the slimmest neck of the historics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SiCkboy78 Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 LOL..This {censored} is blasphemy! But, yea. Do whatever you want to it, though remember it won't hold value if you sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
