Guitarfrenzy Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 I recently was given a Taylor New Neck Design video that tested out the amount of pressure before the neck would break. I think after the test was over... He could put 340 lbs of pressure on the neck area directly in front of the nut on a scarf joint before it broke, and it broke with around 290 lbs with a one piece neck.. So he said it makes a slight difference.. "enough for us to design ours that way" is the way he put it. I say is it really worth it for just 50 more pounds pressure? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snork Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 yes it definately is..... do you realize that that will slowly go down the more you use the guitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor's joint is cut and glued on a automated machine 2 little tid bits of info i think should have been included there GF i have that video too, it's pretty cool, they should have it online so everyone could go take a look at it...

Snork Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 ok... we all know that taylor has a sick joint... but you definately need to take the extra precaution. and if you dont at least use a volute. I'm reverseing the grain and using a volute because you can never be too careful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 yes it definately is..... do you realize that that will slowly go down the more you use the guitar? snork.....that is what wood finishing is all about....if you properly finish the guitar to prevent the moisture exchange then it WILL last a lifetime. please,please,please stop with the nonsense. it takes years to learn about this stuff..you can't think that 1/2of the way through your first guitar you all of the sudden know everything,do you? it really saddens me when you go off on what you don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snork Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 its common sense though. things wear out.... sorry for offending you i'm just using common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 don't worry about it snork i used to ( and still do a bit) just post on common sense, but you gotta realize it'll only take you so far, sometimes you should just sit back and let other people post and read up before you go talking about something you may not be completely informed about, that's all we're trying to say, it's not a posting race/war u know another thing I should add is that common sense (theory) and applied theory (actual exprience doing it) are often 2 completely different things..

krazyderek Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 getting back on subject... i just remembered that SG's are kinda neck heavy, any one else ever notice that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snork Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 actually come to think of it they were a little neck heavy. purely because they intentionally made the body light i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repoman Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 my les paul appears to be a 3 piece neck... its a 1977 left handed tobacco sunburst and i have to admit its fallen on the head stock and not break...i was stupid and just left it leaning on my bed and it slid to the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 its common sense though. things wear out.... sorry for offending you i'm just using common sense. moving parts wear out...non moving parts do not.. if it is properly finished it COULD last centuries.....you know...like those old antique chest of drawers your common sense may need some help.
