Gibson C series Neck Profiles
New to the nylon world, just picked up a mid sixties Gibson C-1 for $400 on Ebay, crazed like crazy, a handful of well repaired soundboard cracks & a great super broken in feel, sound & vibe..... my kinda guitar! Getting used to the wide fingerboard is gonna take some doing, though, especially as this newly initiating nylon calling will be sharing fretboard time concurrently with my narrower widthed steel instruments. I understand through the sparse available information I've culled here & elsewhere on the web that after '63 or so, along with the changed rosette, the necks became shallower/thinner from front to rear. Does this apply to all of the later C series necks or just those with the maple stripe, as mentioned once by someone somewhere in my travels?
