Yes, this subject pops up every month or 2 and we'll get 9 pages of bolt on vs neck thru.

By all means, search for the old neckthrough-vs-bolton-vs-setneck threads, just don't resurrect them or re-start a new one, please.

Yeah... cause everyone knows neck-thru's have better sustain than bolt-on's... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

Maybe the thread starter wants to know the difference in sound and/or feel of bolt-ons vs neck-through guitars

That's a big maybe considering he wasn't very clear in what he was looking for when he first posted...

Hmmmm, i'd say it ain't such a "big maybe" simply BECAUSE the initial post is unlcear.

If the initial post is unclear, which you and I believe, how can you or anyone know how exactly big any "maybes" are likely to be or not to be? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Difference between Bolt-on and string-thrugh body

Well, the second one wasn't much clearer.

Hmmmm, how can it be such a "big maybe" when, as you've stated, the inital post was unclear?

Maybe he does want to know that and maybe he doesn't. It doesn't become a definitely until he says that. So until then, in my estimation, that's a big maybe. Plenty of room for interpretation, hence plenty of room to incorrectly read the original poster's mind.

This is almost as good as neck-through vs. bolt-on! [img]/images/graemlins/popcorn.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]So, you obviously agree with my supposition. What you've said here is pretty much what I said. Think it through.....S L O W L Y, or get someone to read it for you.

Hmmmm, unusual conclusion. I didn't say anything was "definite" -- remember? I said "maybe", as you've reminded me. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Seems I must repeat myself: you've mentioned that the initial post is unclear, therefore, I'm curoius as to how you've managed to quantify the probable accuracy of my suggestion as a POSSIBLE interpretaion of the said post. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Difference between Bolt-on and string-thrugh body

I don't need to think anything through or have something read to me. I was trying to be humorous with my first post in this thread.

Re: Difference between Bolt-on and string-thrugh body

The only mentionable difference between a USA Jackson bolt-on and a USA Jackson neckthrough is the construction method used on each one.

Neckthroughs are also more expensive to manufacture than bolt-ons, because of the time and amount of materials involved.

As for the difference between the two guitars you mentioned - the RR3 and RR5 - the specs at www.jacksonguitars.com should fill you in.

Re: Difference between Bolt-on and string-thrugh body

Why do we rarely see maple fretboards on neck-throughs?

Or am I wrong?
