Hello there, recently played a '66 ES-175. I loved the slim, pencil neck on it. Are there other hollowbodies that you know of with the same neck size, shape?
I haven’t played your 175, but my Heritage 575 has a narrow, fast neck that reminds me of a Japanese GB10 I owned some time ago. AFAIK the Heritage guitars had all kinds of variations in the past, there are probably more narrow necked 575s around.
I had a Samick HF 650 that had a very thin neck. IIRC, the nut was 1 5/8" rather than the 1-9/16" of the skinniest '60s Gibsons, but the overall neck profile was about the same.
Nice 175 !
Have been lucky enough to own a 66 Tal Farlow with this kind of neck in 25.5 scale.
Fantastic sound whatever amp used !
This is a digitized slide with poor color rendering : the Viceroy Brown was lighter, more chocolate brown.
Many Guilds from the late '50s and early '60s had 1-5/8" necks.
Oddly enough, my '55 ES-175D has a 1-5/8" nut and a fairly slim depth, which was atypical for the era. Moral of the story is, in that era there were no absolutes, only general trends. Judge each individual instrument on its own merit.
Wow just the opposite for me. I really like the late1950’s Gibson larger necks with the 1&11/16” width. I find these later 1965 necks way too cramped for my hands.

I had a Plek done at Gary Brawer's shop on a Godin Multiac Nylon.
It was no better after the Plek -- the tech who worked on it just prior did as good a job. It was pleked because of a buzzy...

I’ve played several plek’d guitars. Mileage may vary. There’s a steep learning curve for the machine’s operator. Fretwork and set-up done by a good tech who actually plays guitar him/herself feels...
Hi.
If I understand well you're asking for full hollowbody thinlines. ES330, and ES275 come to mind. While in the ES range. Apart from these I don't find others..
Guitarist I been working with for a while now has a semi hollow thinline L-5. It's definitely a custom made model. Has the master volume on the lower bout like an old Gretsch and one off side fret...
I would have counted everything up until 2:50 as 6/4, based on the phrasing of the melody. After that I get a bit confused as the melody is the same but the drums is playing a different feel which...
What thin line Gibsons were made over the years? I know I've seen pictures of a couple of L5 thin lines. They may have been custom made, I don't know. Also ES 125 and Byrdland. BTW, I didn't mean...
