Members David E H Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 I mean like this:http://www.onyxforgeguitars.com/C08.html I would be interested to hear how sustain and tone differ. We're always comparing set necks and bolt on necks for this reason. The only downside that crosses my mind would be some sort of neck warping, or truss rod issues.

Members leopardstar Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 your new here, huh? the tone is in the glue. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tiltsta Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 I've never seen a one piece guitar in real life. You would think if it was vastly superior that the high end of the market would be full of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sharkfin Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 Never even seen one before. I don't think it would sound all that different from a neck-through guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stormin1155 Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 Harmony Supertone H44 and H41s were one piece neck/body. I think they started making them back in the early-mid '50s, so it's not a new concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Flintc Posted May 10, 2009 Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 If there's anything that fantastic about it, then some rich folks will shell out for it whether they can hear it or not. Most super-expensive high-end stuff is sold to people with a LOT more money than taste or skill. The way to boost profit margins is to create enough of a reputation that these things are enviable, so that rich people will purchase them to be envied. I guess if I'm going to start going into 5 figures for a guitar, I'd rather have something like this than a beat-to-hell guitar once barfed on by Joe Guitargod himself.
