killemall8 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 i am expecting to see more first time bolt on makers, but i could be wrong. i admit, my first build was a bolt on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I have never built a bolt on...to be honest,I feel like ibanez produces extremely high quality bolt on guitars,and if I liked bolt on,I would just buy ibanez at all times and swap pups....it's much tougher to find a quality neck through at a reasonable price.

Mattia Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I voted set-neck; I don't count my 'assemble warmoth strat from parts' project as a proper build, More of a finish and wiring job than anything else. Don't build many neck-through, because I have this sort of gut aversion to them in guitars. Love them in basses, but I'd rather have a set neck guitar. Except on my mini headless models. That's different. (ok, yes, I'm weird.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmarlin Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Mine is a set neck and its almost done, Its been changing in the closet curing for a couple of months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acousticraft Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 My first and second builds were acoustic guitars so I guess they dont fit any of these categories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyManAndy Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I haven't actually started mine yet, but will very soon. It'll be a bolt-on. CMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 My first was a mahogany neckthru, 2nd was a unique design (custom SG), sort of a deep set neck tenon encased in 2 hollowed out body wings. The third was a bolt on tele. I found the neck thru is the easiest but with a neck angle you'd better get it right the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 My first and second builds were acoustic guitars so I guess they dont fit any of these categories. Sure they do. Bolt ons are bolt ons, dovetail and glued mortise and tenons are set necks :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidlook Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 My fist was a set neck Brian May style guitar...although it's still waiting for a finish...and I'm waiting for the time to finish it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryovanni Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 My first and second builds were acoustic guitars so I guess they dont fit any of these categories. Sure they do. Bolt ons are bolt ons, dovetail and glued mortise and tenons are set necks :-P I was gonna say, but Mattia beat me to it. I dinked around with bolt ons for a few years, but my first actual from scratch build was a neck thru bass. Peace,Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyonsdream Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 My very first guitar was a battle axe shape with a bolt on and I was around 11 at the time. My first usable guitar was an acrylic telecaster bolt on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
