H550 neck

[58super]

Is the standard neck on an H550 3 piece maple or solid mahogany?

I've seen pictures of both. The Heritage website says maple but the site also says HRW pickups are available.

This seems to be a good opportunity to ask something else: What's the standard neck profile on a H550 like? More on the chunky or on the thin side?

If you order a new one, it's whatever you specify

There really isn't a "standard" Heritage neck profile.

 

Older guitars tend to have thinner necks while more recent ones, from roughly the mid to late '00s have larger necks. And, as H mentioned, a custom order can be whatever the customer requires.

I think on a production (not custom) order the neck shape is pretty standard, 58. On my 550 it actually feels pretty similar to my H150's. But I think neck size assessment is the most subjective topic on this forum!!

When I got my H-550 I was slightly disappointed when I recieved it because I thought it would come standard with a 3 piece neck (it had the standard mahogany). But It came out so good, I got over it. I would describe the neck shape as 59' ish.

Thanks for your input!

 

That P90 H550 is a dream!

My '94 H-550 had a multi piece maple neck. It was a pretty slim profile. If it had been girthy I'd still have it.
