I am looking for a goldtop...with p90s...and a 60s slim neck.
Does such a thing exist????

The MIJ guitars have them. As for Gibson, not really sure.

not as a regular model.
you can always sand it down a little (or have it done)

I've seen a gold 57 style with mini hums and a slim neck which indicates it's not an impossibility. I would call places like Wildwood and Dave's and see if they have ever, or are considering placing a special batch order. That '57 was a really fun guitar.

Heritage makes a Goldtop with P90s. I don't know if the neck would fit your idea of slim, anything that isn't fat is too slim to me! But certainly slimmer than an R6.

I just got a 2000 R6.. I was told that in that year the necks weren't as fat as the rest.... Its a med to big C shape... The most comfortable neck I have ever played... Had a 58 reissue with one of those baseball fat necks... Hated it...

mine is a 2000, too. the neck is still pretty fat compared to for example the average r0 profile. otoh the r0 profile is way fatter than most usa 60s necks.
i donīt think the op will be happy with a r6 neck if he wants slim, imho..

congrats, the 2000 r6 is one awesome guitar :)...
