I never knew what the 1st fret thickness was on my old SG, but a friend had several and some had a wider neck.
Yes, from around late 1965 to sometime in the seventies.What about the neck width? Are some of them 1 9/16”?
I have a 62 Junior - not sure if mine is a happy accident, but the neck carve feels very similar to a 59 LP. Not thin at all - actually the best neck I've ever played (OK, I'm definitely biased... but it's perfect!).From the first SGs in 60/61 to early 1965 they were 1 11/16" wide at the nut.
The thicknesses were all over the place, (from pencil necks to boat necks) since they were hand shaped.
61s and 62s were generally on the thinner side, but not always...
