a classic has a similar neck as a standard? so lets say if i want P-90s with 60s slim taper neck... for new models, my next best option seems to be the LP DC faded. so how does that compare?
I played both side by side and they were different. Not necessarily a matter of "thick and thin" but the Classic just felt smoother and slicker and generally played better as a whole. On either, it's not like 2D but it's also far from a baseball bat. Just right, IMHO.
I want one, but I can't justify one right now, darn it! My very FIRST SG was a 1968 SG Special, EXACTLY like the one pictured below. I've always missed it. Like a fool, I sold it for $150 back in 1973.
Seeing that 68 special reminds me that I need to get a blank truss rod cover for my classic. The script style used for the classic trc looks too much like coca-cola classic. classic is way over-used anyway.

Then I changed the tuners to Grovers.
Get a Historic Spec truss rod cover and engrave whatever you want in it. I put my name on a few, and did one for the kid on his LP Special. B.H. Neo
Wehn I get mine first thing I'm doing aside from setting it up (as best I can, at least) then the period-correct truss rod cover, switch tip and knobs. Plus some chrome Grovers.
