What's the neck profile like?

I think it is a 60's profile.

Image

Oh and I was wrong about the pickup isn't a '57 Classic. It is a modern pickup,maybe a 498T. like this

Image
Image

Also,I think the fretboard is torrefied maple

Image

Like a Suhr

Haha,well no accounting for taste huh ...

Image

Anyway I think it sounds really good. When you engage the coil tap it sounds pretty much like a P-90.
