WTB: Gibson SG P90 or Gibson LP Standard/Traditional with Big 50's Neck
What's Hot
Hi.
Anyone selling a Epiphone Riviera/Sheraton/335/Casino with a big chunky neck similar to a 58/59 style?
Something else would be a Gibson SG with P90’s or Gibson LP Standard or Trad again with a big neck.
Just to give an idea of neck measurements, around .880 at the 1st and .980 at the 12th although bigger is fine.
Thanks

I should have added to my post that i haven't tried the "inspired by gibson " range so looks a good starting point for you @Dan ;
If you happen to be interested, here's my ad from earlier this year https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/221692/fs-ft-epiphone-riviera#latest

Anyway, still on the lookout.
Have you played any Ibanez semis? I remember trying one out a few years ago and though that it had a pretty chunky neck on it. Peerless necks are also a good depth.
I feel like that's a good size neck but definitely not baseball bat.

I have a new Epiphone Riviera and one the reasons that I bought it becasue I like chunky necks too. It is not super chunky like a 58 LP but it still has some girth. I measured the thickness with a calipper now on 12th fret; it is 0.976" on mine.
Here it is:
1st fret 0.870"
5th fret 0.905"
7th fret 0.913"
12th fret 0.976"
Neck has some shoulders so it feels chunkier in the hand than the measured thinckness. Personally, I think it is a really good sized neck. Not too big not small.
Another point, I recommend to buy one with trying becasue I played good and bad sounding ones of the exact same model.
Two short clips if you are interested, first bridge and then neck PU. Direct into a Supro Balck Magick, no pedals.
