VesQ Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 So, the question is. What´s the longest neck you could do, using straight mahogany without carbon fibre reinforcements ? I see that some manufacturers use 25.5" scale on some guitar models with mahongany neck, but spec lists dont tell me if they used cf rods or not. At least i dont fully trust spec sheets offered by commecial webpages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Any length is probably fine... There are bass necks made from mahogany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 indeed - thunderbirds probably have one of the longest factory made mahogany necks. but they are laminated for strength... and do occasionally loose their oversized heads (because of a combination of factors, neck wood is just one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VesQ Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 So how are those thunderbirds ? are those any good for shooting arrows ? Do they need helluva lot truss rod adjustment ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 36" on my mahogany neck-thru(26 frets), no laminating, just q-sawn wood w/ a stewmac hotrod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
