The Les Paul Neck Joint

1987 Gibson Les Paul - Closeup of neck joint

Let's light up this joint... with some professional studio flashes.

The neck joint is a huge contributor to the tone recipe. Bolt-on and glued joints each have their own unique characteristics.

A neck-thru design eliminates the joint. We learned our lesson from Aerosmith about what happens when you eliminate the joint. It doesn't sound as good. ;-) The glued neck joint is a key part of the Les Paul's tone recipe.
