Gibson may have been the first company to mass-produce neck-through guitars with the Firebird, though...

Those look pretty nice, but I would have to play one ofcourse. it looks like the necks aren`t the really thin Wizard necks, are they thicker than the normal wizard neck? Jack.

I've only played Ibanez bolt-ons and a couple of set necks, but I'd love the chance to play one of their neck-thru's. The price for that model is decent at around $600, but I wish they had the "shark tooth" inlays instead of the dots.

I think it looks cool and shouldn't it create a better tonal bridge between the pickups and the wood?

Since the pickups are picking up the vibration of the metal string moving through the magnetic field of the pickup, I don't think that coupling the pickup to the body will have any affect on the sound. I've heard people argue that it does, but I've yet to hear a reason that makes any sense.

But I'm sure they will be waaaaay overpriced here in Sweden, like everything else! [img]graemlins/puke.gif[/img]

But the neck-through Baretta's were actually quite cheap 2-3 years ago if I remember correctly.
Now you gotta buy a used one if you want one. I haven't seen them for sale in any shop for a while!

They don't sell in stores, only from MusicYo and they ship worldwide.

2Loud2Old: Hehe, yeah... I've spent some time drooling at MusicYo.com and maybe some day I'll get me one of those geetarz... [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

But when I made that post I didn't know about MusicYo.com.. or maybe I just thought it would be too much trouble ordering one from the US, don't remember... [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

I really need to earn more money than I do on the job I have now... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I bought a DXMG quite recently.. and I think my next guitar will be a Roswell Rhoads.. or maybe an old ESP the Mirage Custom, they're really nice!
