Southpa Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 I couldn't tell you what the heel of a neckthru SHOULD look like but here is what I did with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southpa Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Thats a very important area on a neckthru guitar. If you begin your neck too far into the body you might wind up with hardly any structural wood left, that also depends on where you rout the hole for the neck pickup. You can see that the heel ends (and actual neck starts) about 2" from the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLS Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 I like neck through like that because it feels like there no heel at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 there should be quite a few pics of soloist heels if you look on the jackson guitars site in the gallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazyderek Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 actually i borrowed it off of the ibanez page, for educational purposes of course, that's why it's in the designs section but i don't think ibanez has it up on their site anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
