Members Dew_Riffic Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 Once you play neck thru's for a while its hard to get used to bolt ons. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MattACaster Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 For some reason I prefer bolts to sets and thrus. I think it's because I prefer Fender to guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jlb32 Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 I like both. I also like set-necks. If the guitar is quality built the neck construction really doesn't matter tonewise IMO. IMO it's really just a feel/comfort thing and since I have big hands all of them are comfortable for me to play. I hear alot of people talk about how neck-thru construction is superior for tone and sustain but some of the best guitars I have ever owned have been bolt-on necks that sustained for days.

Members BAZGUITARMAN Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 I like all of them, but it really depends on the wood used. I don`t really like maple neck-throughs. I prefer mahogany for neck-through and set neck, but maple is good for bolt on necks. I`ve owned all and like all about the same. It also depends on how the neck joint is done. How comfy and easy to manuver around it is. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sordid1 Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 Honestly I own a guitar with each and I really don't notice much difference. The set neck probably has a touch more sustain but I don't really notice. Either are fine with me personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhino bucket Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 prefer neck-thru however allmost nobody makes what i want in a neck-thru without getting a custom. therefore i've got bolt-on and like them. anybody know of a neck-thru with 1 5/8" nut, 24 3/4" scale, an oil finish, and thin as hell.

Members Megadeth7684 Posted November 1, 2006 Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 I have no preference, as long as the guitar is well made, the neck joint doesn't matter at all to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DannyM Posted November 1, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 1, 2006 Originally posted by Megadeth7684 the neck joint doesn't matter at all to me. It matters to me for leads. I'm used to the heel of neck thru jacksons, ibanez and esp so any type of bolt on feels foreign. Its not something that I cant get used to though. Try going from a jackson neck thru to a les paul That feels weird at first and you have to change the way you are used to playing. Thats more extreme than from a neck thru to a bolt on... but you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a Caparison, which I know Danny is looking into. Bolt on Caparisons have better upper fret access than neck thru guitars IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt play any ibanex bolt ons....but I played several bolt ons this week end at guitar center and the difference between them and my ibanez rtg6exfx is substantial. there is this block of wood that basically sits in the way and blocks my thumb and easy access to the upper frets on the bolt ons that isnt there on my ibanez or my jackson neck thrus.

It looks like I'm going to have to wait on the caparison.I have a USA SL2H CopperHead on order from the custom shop/matts music that should be here in the next 2 to 5 months.
