Re: Rank your favorite set necks

My favorite would have to be my Les Paul.... However, back in my highschool band in 87 or so the other guitar player had this Ibanez Artist that kicked complete ass.... I even tried to trade him my 3A for it....

Les Pauls, followed closely by Explorers and Flying V's

Never been much of a fan of Hamer, or even PRS

[Firebird V]

Re: Rank your favorite set necks

Gibby Explorers and old Deans z's do it for me. I like the Deans better actually because they are a little easier at the higher end. And the wicked ass big V headstock just gives me a woody! I also like the v neck shape on the older Deans too. The Explorer has a great neck shape too and I like the taller skinny frets on them for some reason. They just feel great for shredding. Sad that I sold my last Dean a week ago but I had to make room for what is coming in...

Re: Rank your favorite set necks

I've owned several set neck guitars from various manufacturers and I've stuck with Gibson. I currently have 15 set neck Gibsons and this is the type music I play with each (this is not set in stone, just a recommendation).

Flying V (Harder rock, metal)
Explorer (classic rock, hard rock, metal)
Les Paul Custom (Classic rock)
Les Paul Supreme (Blues, Jazz, Classic rock)
Firebird (Actually a neck thru) (Classic rock, hard rock)
SG Supreme (Classic rock, hard rock, metal)
Les Paul Standard (rock, hard rock, blues)

Like I said, nothing above is etched in stone.

Re: Rank your favorite set necks

My first choice is Hamer, then I would probably go with the new Carvin CT. I have owned many Hamers, set necks and bolt ons, and I lean towards the set neck stuff and currently own 3 USA set neck Hamers:

Hamer Special
Hamer Firebird 2
Hamer Chapp Custom

If you would happen to find a great LP Standard with the 50`s neck carve, they are fantastic and I like gibsons pickups, especially the 500T form the Classics. I also love but can`t afford a Baker, now out of business, they are fantastic guitars. Jack.

Re: Rank your favorite set necks



Jack, have you ever tried a McInturff? Terry used to work in the Hamer custom shop, I think you'd dig his guitars.

Re: Rank your favorite set necks

I've tried a couple of McInturffs, same model, one with a maple top and one without. I thought they were good, but I still like Hamers better. The all mahogany model sounded much better to my ears. So I'm thinking that the next set neck guitar I get will be all mahogany. But who knows what could come along.
