Being a relative newbie to the Les Paul world, are the neck profiles on the 80s Dot Neck Studios (as I think I've read somewhere) more like a Slim Taper 60's neck than the beefier '90s '59 type trapezoid models?

I'm looking at a dot neck Studio online now that I'm thinking of purchasing & would like to know which neck it's likely to have beforehand, the seller not being sure, so any help in this matter would be much appreciated.

Nobody here can help me? Does anyone alternatively know of another site or forum where I might get the information I'm seeking?

The one I currently have [unbound fingerboard] feels "normal". Not slim, not beefy. Nice and round.
The last one I had [like the photo] felt much the same with the exception of the binding, which seemed to be a subtle difference. Still felt "normal" in size.
Those are the last two I've had in almost 20 years. I don't see them anymore. :hmm
