Thanks for the glove size. Provides a meanful datum. For cross reference, I'm a medium too in a true fit last.

Re the "Gibson". A bit of both. I did see the headstock in your office subliminally recalled and also recall your mention of your guitars at some point in previous conversations.

Not being label status conscious, I tend to refer to Epiphone branded product copies of Gibsons, ES, LP, SG etc, as the parent company Gibson lumping the two together without differentiation as their primary price segmentation purpose nothstanding, the design specs of neck profiles, fingerboard radius are generally the same or very similar in comparative style for style models, differing predominantly in tech fitout and finish AFAIC.

I wanted to know/confirm both of the above to give accurate perspective to the picture. Neck profile, fingerboard radius, string spacing etc.

Strangely enough and which surprised me, one of the most comfortable and fastest necks to fret in my collection is the neck of my "Aldicaster" cheapie. It's dimensions are contemporary standard Squier Affinity Tele nut width, string spacing, fret size, fingerboard radius and neck profile and of course, scale length. Making it even more of a delight, it's blessed with a fingerboard which as luck or good managment would have it, has been manufactured to such a QC standard, that it accomodates the setting of super low action without buzzing. Astonishing would be understatement. And for just AUD$99! Currently about CAD$91. So I comprehend the glee you derive from your "Pawn Shop Princess".
