For guitarists (with whammy bars on their guitars)

fuck neck through.

 

[imisseverygood showbecauseiam5]

whast wrong with neck thru

 

[Blindfold]

neck throu pwnes!!!

anyway: @ this movez0r

Neckthru gives more sustain, and better register to the upper frets.

 

[War_Blade]

neck through is fine, i just felt like fucking something. Only bad bad part about neck though is that it is harder to ship, and you can't do jake e lee style bombs.

 

[imisseverygood showbecauseiam5]

how can't you?

 

[Feel_The_Force]

Yeah you can, what difference does a neckthru make?

 

[War_Blade]

a jake e lee bomb doesn't use the whammy bar. It envolves bending your neck and if you have a neck through you risk cracking the neck. A bolt on will give more.

Well, in most cases, people don't know what they're doing. there are probably like 1% of the guitar playing population that know how to do it right, without fucking up their guitar. Not a risk I'm willing to take to try and practicie that technique, honestly.

 

[Feel_The_Force]

You would probably risk breaking the neck of a bolt-on aswell so i don't think it makes much difference.

 

[Blindfold]

my guitar will have carbon rods in the neck to prevent this

 

[Feel_The_Force]

Well arn't you the lucky one.

It is nearly impossible to break a bolt on by doing that because the bolt on moves around more.

the rod won't do anything, it is the wood that cracks not the rod bending.

 

[imisseverygood showbecauseiam5]

if the rods go into the body, it would help. But, i still wudent suggest bending the neck for a jake e lee at all hahahaha.

 

[Blindfold]

its neck through anyway....
and the rod's from bottom to headstock, so it helps. the wood wont break as easy....

 

[War_Blade]

the guitar wont break at the headstock it will break where the bolts would normally go on the guitar

 

[imisseverygood showbecauseiam5]

thast why i suggested rods go into the body

(in a neck thru)
