Re: Bolt On vs Neck-Thru
I've never really understood the tonal pros a bolt-on might have over a neckthrough. Anyone up to the task of explaining? As far as neckswapping goes, it's such a negligible and chance-oriented part of the argument that it's void...
I prefer neckthroughs because they give better access to higher frets when carved right, and that they seem to have beefier sustain. I haven't heard a night vs day difference in the tone, nor have I played a really enjoyable neckthrough (especially when you're playing painted Schecter NT's vs. Ibanez bolt-ons, the best bolt-ons in the biz), but I'd love to play an Ibanez-made neckthrough! I really thing that'd give all bolt-ons a proper run for their money.
