plyboard body?

would that be any good?

that clears many things up, i had been bombarded with a lot of conflicting information when it comes to building guitars, and yes idch i had intended to make the neck whether it be through or bolt-on

cheers

wow... my head hurts after reading through all that...

i think ill get on a dot-point form of that, unless someone already has, i found it quite usefull...

especially about how far your design can be like another, say if i design a body and headstock and sell it i wouldnt want to be viable for prosecution

thanks everyone whos posted, ill try get up a simplified/dot-point version up soon, ill go over it with some experts and try post something soon to clear anything up for people... (remembering im in Australia, so it might be a bit biased, i hope should be fairly universal though)

wow, this has just answered a quesiton plaguing me for a while... took ages to find this forum...

about the different sounds of a neck join, i was looking at custom-builds and making my own guitars, when i came upon ESP Custom interactive thing, it not only has Set-Neck, Bolt-On, Neck-Through, but also Set-Through

but then the site has no more information on the pros and cons, etc...

i was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to what set-through is?

and what neck join would be recommended for a heavy, deep resonating sound, but still nice high-end (ive heard that neck-through gives good sustain but can sound 'flat')

any help much appreciated
