Robert, I've got a 97 Am. Std. In the house and I don't care for the neck. A bit shallow/thin. How would you describe the neck on this? Above you say wide...that to me means the nut/fretboard. Is that the case or do you mean deep? I like a meaty neck, although a '59 carve (in Gibson speak) isn't necessary, I like it. I ask because a similar guitar is available, but I can't get my mitts on it to check it out.
