The Long Neck Tenon Pictured above are examples of how Gibson joins a Les Paul neck. The difference in mass is plainly obvious. The effect on tone is, I believe, very real. Is this the most important detail missing from Les Paul's made from sometime late in '69 forward? This photo, from Iwanade's "The Beauty of the
'Burst", shows the neck joint of an original Sunburst. Lets have a look
at the neck joint of #5608XX. 1 piece long tenon neck, draw your own conclusions!
