Neck Dimensions

I am trying to find out the range of neck thicknesses, say at the 1st & 12th frets on the "50's" neck, 57, 58, 59 and "60's neck". I have a limited run 1982 red standard that has a neck that is .100" thinner than my R6 Goldtop, so I am trying to see if it matches dimensiond for "60's" neck or where it fits in the scheme of things.

Can anybody supply some info?

Thanks,

Bill

Gibson should provide drawings or pictures of all neck´s profiles (1st and 12th frets) on their website... that way we could make a visual comparison among them.

...a micrometer is the most accurate...vernier calipers are good too...
