My Ibanez GRG-170DX has quite a narrow neck.

What do the Les Paul's have?

Just looking at future options :)

Different ones have different size necks, 50s reissues are thicker than 60s I believe.
Do you mean front to back or top to bottom?

Plus I'd say this was the wrong forum ;)

I think 'Looking for a new...' forum suits this better than the effects forum?

This shop seems to have plenty of stats on neck thickness

Played a '58 RI a few weeks ago that had a huge, round neck. It was like trying to wrap my hand around a big ol' oak tree. The '59 is a bit slimmer, and by 1960 they had developed the "slim tapered" neck. That's still a lot heftier and fatter than some Ibanez-type necks, esp. the Wizard style. You won't know what you like until you go out and play them. :)
