Members Bubbluz Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 My FlatFive fits this description,it's a great guitar .To be honest though,I don't give neck joints much thought . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lonnie99 Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 What is that Yamaha? I played a bolt on AEX 500 yesterday that had my mind spinning trying to figure out ways to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grantus Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 Little difference between that and a bolt-on guitar of another scale. I like my Fender Cyclone a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are spruce top, chambered alder body.http://www.mygear.com/img/item_pictures/large/32670.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danswon Posted December 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 Interesting. I was thinking, it's either the best of both worlds or it's lacking in every department. I know there's a lot more to a guitar than just the neck joint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neck joint and scale length are just two of many factors that determine how a guitar sounds and feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members honeyiscool Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 I have two guitars that fit the description: my Daisy Rock, and my VM Tele Thinline. They're both great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrbrown49 Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 As long as it's a well made guitar, I don't care what type of neck joint it has. All of them can sound and play fine, whether it's a set net, neck thru or bolt on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Weiner_Bomb Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 24 3/4 scale guitars are just that much more comfortable to me. I don't feel the strain on my fingers to fret any notes. Although, 25.50 scale offers more advantage for those who spend most time playing up the neck. Which is not me. When I do, I'm all about the bar chords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Belva Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 Both of my geetars have 24.75 scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wayne2 Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 I have bolt-on 24.0" and 25.5". I don't see any reason why 24.75" wouldn't be good too. Probably a nice compromise. I thought going back and forth was going to be a big deal but it really isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that more costly Epiphones (and certain other brands) have set necks kind of gives the impression that set necks are better for a 24.75" guitar, but I guess that's not necessarily the case.

Interesting. I have never much thought about the possibility of 24.75" bolt-on's being cheaper quality but that does some what make sense if you are looking into the cheaper epi's / gibson clones. I really got into all the strat style 24.75" bolt-on's that were happening in the late 80's/90's that makers like Jackson/Charvel were making. Most of those guitars were not cheap though.
