    Are knots and rings detrimental to the longevity of a neck?

    I thought necks are usually quarter sawn to make them more stable and resistant. I thought that cutting with the rings makes wood less sturdy. Today I saw this neck on a Strat and was surprised. You guys are more experienced with wood working than me and usually have good insights to share. Can...

    Can somebody tell me about the Jackson Virtuoso necks?

    Hi all, I am interested in these new Dinky models but have no time to go check one out anytime soon. I'll be traveling and might want to pull the trigger on a sale but have questions: What profile do these 5-piece necks have? I have played and own Caparison, 90s Jackson MIJ models, different...

    Gear/Guitar Wanted: Ibanez style 7-string neck with the AANJ heel. Specifically one with a dark fretboard and FULL BINDING. I already have a 7321 neck that i will not use because it does not have headstock binding. I am totally alright with Sims, Perle, ET or other aftermarket Ibanez neck...

    "School me" on the new Jacksons

    In my search for Japanese made stuff I found a few of the new MJ series guitars and have been wondering if these are worth it. I read the dedicated thread you guys posted here and have been googling for a bit. it seems the quality is there but not always and there's not a lot of NGDs out there...

    Where can I buy parts of guitars like bodys or necks? (idk there is the right section)

    Hi again I was finding a website to buy guitar parts because I want to make my own custom ESP/LTD guitar, so where I can buy it I was finding specifically a neck, LTD tuners, and simply LTD humbuckers (those that come in series 10) I was gratefully thanked with you if you can help, btw the...

    Similar neck shapes to original Ibanez Wizard Prestige?

    Hey all, My absolute favorite guitar on this earth is my 2001 Ibanez S1520FB, and no matter how hard I try, I can't find another neck profile that feels this comfy. Does anyone have any recommendations for: 1) Ibanez guitars that use the same Wizard Prestige 2) Other Ibanez neck profiles...

    I think I've been buying guitars with the "wrong" neck thickness. Any recommendations?

    I don't think I've ever made a thread on here, but I've recently been realizing that a lot of my difficulties playing have stemmed from playing on guitars with very thin necks. I'm hoping you folks could recommend some guitars for me to try to see if I can find out what works better for me based...

    Where to find Steinberger/Moses carbon necks?

    Hey all, Now that Moses has ceased producing replacement composite necks for Steins, where could I find some (second-hand) necks? I'd like to fit them to a couple of Steinberger Spirit axes. Thanks !

    Suggestion for a high quality 7 string with more classic neck shape?

    Every 7 string is thin/fast/etc and I find that term has just come to mean uncomfortable to me. Ibanez, Music Man, Schecter KM USAs, Mayos, Aristides, they are all quite thin. Even Kiesel has a what feels like a D shape to me that makes my thumb collapse in big chords. Rounder necks I find keep...

    Neck construction - stability

    Not sure if this belongs in this forum, but it was the best find I could find at a glance. I am having a neck made for my guitar, as the current one took a beating from the very dry winter we just had here in Denmark. I can't make my own neck, and this guy looks like he knows what he's doing...

    Crack on the neck of my Ibanez S8QM. I need help

    First a little bit of context. *Note: I'm from Mexico, so prices here are way different than in the USD. A couple of weeks ago a music store nearby closed down (Fuck COVID), and I was able to get a Seymour Duncan Pegasus Bridge (8 String Version) pickup for dirt cheap (roughly 25 USD). I...

    Ibanez Wizard necks vs ESP extra thin u

    Title says it all really. Does anyone know how the two compare? Some ltd models look very appealing to me, but I don't know how the extra thin u profile compares to the nitro wizard/super wizard necks that I'm used to. I'm making a post here because I unfortunately don't have anywhere to try out...

    Brand New Ibanez Prestige Neck Problem

    Hey guys, I posted a NGD a while ago with my RG652 AHM. Ive always set up my own guitars but I was having some trouble getting the buzz out of this one and could see a clear "hump" on the low E string side only and no truss rod or bridge height adjustment could get it to my satisfaction in terms...

    New EHB just purchased has rough neck

    Hi all, I just bought a new EHB1005 during the Black Friday sales. The bass is ergonomically perfect in my opinion. The fretwork is great and the tonal options are better than anything I have ever owned from Squier and the like. It really is my first good bass. The neck on this one is really...

    Ibanez Guitars with Wizard Prestige Neck Profile

    Hey all, I'm looking for a Prestige S with the same neck profile as my S1520FB (I would look for another one, but they're becoming rare, and I'd prefer something with a hard tail.) Is there a way to see which guitars have a specific Ibanez neck profile, or is there another neck profile that's...

    D Activator Neck

    So I'm thinking of getting a D Activator Neck and putting it in the bridge position of my PRS Mike Mushok which is tuned down to Drop F, cos from previous posts have seen that the D Activator Neck is really good as a bridge pickup for low tunings. If I do that, what is a good pickup to pair...

    Wizard necks vs Schecter necks?

    Hello, I'm looking to buy a new guitar, and even though I'm used to Ibanez Wizard necks, some Schecter models have very appealing specs, for instance the C-1 Apocalypse. What I'm concerned about is the neck, and whether I'll like it at all. Does anyone have experience with the thin C necks from...

    Need guitar neck recommendations

    Hey, Looking for a new guitar, mostly for rock/metal. I love the thin neck on my Ibanez Jem 77 fp. With that in mind, are there any guitar models/neck types you recommend? Would like to go with something non-Ibanez this time. I have been looking at some Schecter models, but I don't know how...

    Neck Size of 335 Pro as compared with SG/Strat

    Hey guys, I currently own a Pacifica and am looking to buy a sexy iced tea Epi 335 Pro. I went to the guitar store today and tried an Epi LP and an Epi SG. The former was very comfortable and playable. However the neck of the SG was way too long for me (my left hand stretches for a D chord...
