I've never seen this posted here, and I thought it was about time.
I just followed a link to a auction for a PRS custom 24. (the fred durst one).
What the fu#k are these companies doing when they build a beautifull guitar and put you an extra 4 - 12 speaker cabinet at the damn neck joint!!!!! [img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img]
Fender USA guitars have the big block of shit there.
Gibson USA guitars have the big block of shit there.
And that auction was the first time I've seen the neckjoint on a PRS custom 24, and low and behold there is that damn big block of shitty wood sticking out.
It is not the 1950's. Someone needs to tell the bastards at Gibson and Fender and PRS that.
Fender, Gibson, and PRS surely can't say "it costs to much" to put a sweet-ass neck joint like Jackson USA select series. Their guitars are way more money that what you can get a Jackson for. (well maybe not Fender USA, but still, you see where I'm at on this topic)
Gibson saw fender's neckjoint, and made it a little better with the dovetail joint or whatever they call it. But come on! Really! I would love to own a USA Gibson Les P. or a USA Strat, but I'm not gonna spend the money on one, those neck joints are ridiculous for the amount of money they charge.
I feel very strongly about the neckjoints on my Soloists. Since owning them, I will never buy another bolt on, or dovetail, or whatever the hell that PRS had on it.
The only thing that stops my hands from going up my fretboard it that it only has 24 frets. I've played some other guitars recently and when you get to about the 14th, if you're not looking, you think you've reached the end of the road because of the anti-ergonomic square edge of the joint.
Just had to let it out as this was the first time I've ever seen the PRS neckjoint, and my previous feelings about the issue.
I'm not saying that all other guitars suck. I don't think that at all, but for these big companies who are expecting (and getting) people to pay top dollar for their instruments, they should be making a better neck joint.
Feel free to comment,
thanks
