Mahogany neck with early 1950s profile and rosewood fingerboardWhen early Les Pauls are discussed (and they are at great length), a big issue is always the neck profile. The earliest Les Pauls had big, fat necks made of mahogany. The neck was slimmed down a bit in 1959, and it finally evolved into what's known today as the SlimTaper neck in 1960. Some players love those huge old necks while others prefer the SlimTaper design. This Gibson Custom 50th Anniversary Marshall Les Paul Goldtop has a bound mahogany neck with long neck tenon and the original chunky '50s rounded neck profile, which is historically accurate.
