Re: Shannon inventory thread

Interesting..... old style w/ Alder wings, old style w/ 3 piece neck, old style with binding over frets, old style logo, old style neck angle, old style non-recessed Floyd, old style heel joint BUT....... newer style larger control cavity and cover????........ weird.

Well, it IS an Ontario guitar rather than a San Dimas one... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] And the control layout is more typical of modern Soloists rather than the San Dimas ones (or what I've seen of the San Dimas ones so far).

Re: Shannon inventory thread

The Shannon I had was not a three piece neck. It was a one piece with a scarf joint. Perhaps it was a one off?

To me it didn't feel like any of my San Dimas era Soloists, but I don't mean that in a negative way.

Re: Shannon inventory thread

Jim, how can you tell yours was a one piece with scarf joint?

[Jim Shine]

Re: Shannon inventory thread

By the sinking of the finish into the wood. When I held the neck so light reflected off of it I could see the curved seam behind the 2nd fret and in the cavities there was no signs of any seams.

Re: Shannon inventory thread

Hmmm, I shall have to try that to see if I can see three pieces or just one plus scarf joint. Might be tough though... black is as opaque as it gets. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Shannon inventory thread

You aren'y looking through the finish, you are looking at the surface. After the guitars are painted the finish continues to cure for a little while after the guitar is painted and completed and in seams the finish tends to sink a little.

Re: Shannon inventory thread

So shouldn't you technically be able to feel the seams as small little "grooves" running the length of the neck on 3-piece necks?

Re: Shannon inventory thread

Just so I am clear, here is what I mean by 3 piece etc.. I had a guy here tell me once Jackson did 5 piece necks, I thought je was crazy until I figured out he considered the wings wood as plies of the neck.

Not usually though I have had some guitars where I could feel the seam. Usually it is just a small movement in the finish that only shows when you move it around in the light.
