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.
Hi!
Sometimes it's possible to fill gaps in the melody with another melody.
Cheers, Mikko

Thanks for the reply.
The one Guild I'm interested in is the Starfire III Special with the Dynasonics pickups. Best of both worlds to me since I much prefer the cutaway and it has a Bigsby, which I...
Hey guys thank you very much for all your replies.
I am leaning towards position 2. I also bought the Dunlop straplock and will ask the tech to install it.
Will do NGD!

I love Ben Webster. The Holiday/Webster sessions with Barney Kessel on guitar is a legendary album. So much inspiration in there and Barney's performance is stellar, very melodic guitar playing.

Actually, the entire 4 bars could be played in the first position if you use open strings but it may sound country especially if you're playing a Tele. :pig:
Unfortunately I can't notate open strings with the Chord Writer app I have, but the top strings are open, so all the chords I posted, except for two, contain the 5th of the chord: the open G string....
The OP's question is voicings of #11's with the 5th. I gave one example.
There are others but the chord charts you posted seem to omit the 5th. Also I don't see any open strings in the charts.
