Kenny Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) well, i have 2 options on this build set neck or neck thru (maple/bubina/maple/bubina/maple) lamination i would have to add a little wood to do the headstock though for a thruneck im also going for more of a smooth sound on this guitar. the body is a walnut/mahagony lamination (only 1/4" of walnut) then will have a redwood top what do you guys think?

doug Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 bubinga/maple/bub/maple/bub looks amazing. I'm just finishing a 7 stringer for a customer right now and I'm just taken back by how stunning it looks. I topped it with a very very black ebony fingerboard too which really makes it. What does "add a little wood to the headstock" mean? My opinion of set neck vs. through neck is a set neck is less cumbersome in the shop because you don't have the whole neck there with you all the time. With a set neck you can do all the preliminary work on the body including sealer/dye then glue the neck in just before clear coating the entire guitar. You'll likely hear a lot about the tonal differences between a set neck and through neck, but that's all subjective. So do your research and draw your own conclusion. -Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
