psarkissian Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 For a JTV-59,... ~24.46mm at fret-12 ~21.88mm at fret-1 +/- whatever the tolerances are. I don't know if that's with or without the finish coating, no info on that either way. I know someone will ask. BTW, I own three JTV-59's,... I know someone will ask that too.

Punkyboy Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Thanks for your reply psark I want this measure +- like the blue line BTW are you happy with the 59 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Blue line, somewhere between ~21.88 to 21.98 'ish, doesn't change til further up from there. My prior specify was from the mechanical drawings, I don't have my calipers here with me at the moment. BTW, I'm the guy at Line 6 that works on these guitars, which is why I chime in here from time to time. I'm I happy? H*** Yes! It's why I have three. Plus another four here in the repair lab as test fixtures. Like having having a near Les Paul with 23 more guitars inside. Always like the way Les Paul's played, this is next best thing to a vintage Les Paul. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PierM Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Measured mine; first measures are for the distance between string and wood, second measure is total neck. Final result is total minus strings. Love the neck. 1st fret; 23,82mm - 2,71mm = ~21,11mm 12th fret; 25,89mm - 2,81mm = ~23,08mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkyboy Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Ohh THANK YOU PierM, Wonderfull ! I love the black one ! SO it seems that the neck is NOT so chuncky like people say ! I buy one soon Thank you guy's , you are GREAT ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 What's chunky to some is slim to others. I find that Les Paul type guitars are chunky to Strat and Tele players. I'm used to all sorts. Classical and 12-string necks, Fender, Gibson, Ricki,... they're all guitars to me. I also have three JTV-69's to go with my 59's. Black 59 is nice. When I crewed for the band Iron Butterfly in the '70's, their guitar player had a '53 or '57 Les Paul, it played great. Black 59 reminds me of that.

fairleas Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Sat down to measure my neck and saw that PierM had done the definitive job. Nice work mate. Love the feel of my JTV59. And tobacco sunburst rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkyboy Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 I love the black one, but how more a look to the tabacco, how more I love this one I decide to take the Tabacco, but need to wait 4-8 weeks goddamn ! Thanks again guy's for all the informations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sifpandor Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I ordered my JTV-59 from Sweetwater. I originally wanted the Cherry Sunburst, but it was out, as was my second choice, Tobacco Sunburst. Well, I figured I'd order the black then. It came in and had a problem. I contacted Sweetwater and set up a return, but I told my contact that the website said that they have tobacco's in stock even though he said they were still out. He checked and said that they did indeed get a shipment in, so he sent me a tobacco. I wasn't really happy with the way the black looked, but I LOVE the look of the tobacco.
