GFS and Mighty Mite floyds are good for 80$

You know, I love Slayer. But this is my opinion with pretty much all of there stuff, with possibly an exception with Season in the Abyss. Just sounds so dry to me. Which doesn't make much sense to me, because both they and Zakk use JCM 2203's with 6550/KT88 tubes, and EMG pickups. But Zakk's tone sounds so much more "organic" and raunchy. Maybe it's Kerry's maple guitars...?

Progress?

Thanks for the info. However, take a look at this Jerry Cantrell Rampage. The Kahler is obviously recessed a bit into the body. Could I not do this on my build? (I recall someone on here recessing a TOM on a no-neck-angle Explorer).

Yummy.

Yes.But this is just as complex as a neck angle. Alright. What degree should the angle be

Can you just sink it to compensate?

double post

I don't have any fretting supplies, nor do I have the will or courage to build a neck right now.

OK. Well here. Construction: Neck-thru w/ angle (how much..?) Nut width: 1 3/4" Nut: Floyd shelf Frets: 22 Jumbo I do not care if its scrap wood/laminations. It would be greatly, greatly appreciated..

Neck thrus have neck angle and they can have no neck angle it depends on the construction of the guitar. I'd prefer no neck angle because I purchased a Kahler 7300, which is a flat mount trem, for no neck angle guitars.

Bolt-ons are 25.5". I want 25" PRS scale. I'm pretty dead set on a neck-thru. No neck angle. I'm up for the challenge. Plus the plans I am getting are a neck-thru, so...

Would anyone be willing to build me a neck-thru for under $80? It will be for my first build. Nothing crazy, just something like maple/rosewood. Heck, I don't care if it's from some of your scrap wood! I do not have the means to build my own neck....and I don't have enough money to buy one from carvin or stew mac. If you are interested, post here or pm I suppose. Thanks in advance.

o.k. ......... Why not ???? ( I don't get it ) Brian - the edging is automotive trim from the parts store. This application is a wide strip surrounded by 1/8" strips on the sides . More pics as they happen. Lol cuz Pine is so dang soft. How does it sound btw? edit: Well I guess that's what the chrome edging is for!

Cool! Hope you dont drop it...

The short answer: on a neck-through where the BRIDGE is mounted in the neck rather than the wings, the body "wing" wood probably has less of an effect on tone than it would with a bolt-on/bolt-in/set-neck guitar, but it will still have some effect. On a related note (but not the answer to the original question), I think the wood that the bridge is mounted in will have much more impact on the sound than the wood the pickups are mounted in (which is the way the question was originally phrased). The body & neck woods talk to the strings (because they are physically connected to each other through the bridge, nut, and frets) and the strings talk to the pickups (by creating disturbances in the magnetic fields of the pickups). The pickups do not talk directly to the wood because wood is not ferrous, and magnetism is the only language pickup speaks. Very interesting. The bridge will be mounted onto the maple. So, with regard to what you said, it's most like going to be on the brighter side due to that.

Ok, so assume one had a Maple Neck thru, with an ebony fretboard. The pickups are sitting on the neck itself. It seems as though the maple is going to have the most emphasis on the tone than the choice of "wings'" wood....catch my drift? In other words, does it matter near as much what wood choice the "wings" are on neck-thru guitars as compared to a bolt-on or set neck?

Great neck, is that a trad nut and a locking nut on there? never seen those two cuddling up before That's a kahler string lock....meant to go behind the nut. Original kahlers (and currents?) came with them.

Always time for a cold beer!

There's sperzel style and normal style. I got the normal ones.

What do you mean?

It may be too late, but I wanted to say everything I ordered from guitarfetish was awesome. The locking tuners work great. I'm actually thinking about getting a kit from them too, due to the quality of the items I received. Did you ever purchase it?

What is the radius of that neck?
