Could anyone explainf the difference between these thre type of bodies:

Soloist
Dinky
Flat top bound strat

Re: What kind of body does this guitar have?

Soloist = Dinky. In general terms, they are the same shape, just neckthrough vs. bolt-on.

Flat top bound strat = strat body. Same body shape as the rest of the USA Charvel line. It just has binding surrounding the top of the body (think like Jackson necks). And the lack of the that diagonal bevel/carve where your right forearm rests while playing, results in the flat top designation. Bound bodies are usually flat tops.

Thanks shreddermon. I thought that the Dinky body was smaller than the soloist one.

Re: What kind of body does this guitar have?

Nope. A common confusion, as a dinky is smaller than a strat. Hence the actual full name of "dinky strat". But not smaller than a soloist.

And I just realized I didn't explain the differences between a dinky and strat. Like the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words...

Strat



Dinky

Either way, that flat top bound Charvel Strat is the tits. [img]/images/graemlins/drool2.gif[/img]

Shreddermon:

Wow! What a gorgeous guitar! I apologize for asking so many questions, but I just respect and value all the knowledge you guys have on this board. How would an Ibanez RG body compare to a Dinky type body? I guess what I want to know is how would an RG body be classified in terms of body shaped? Soloist, Dinky?

[shreddermon]

Re: What kind of body does this guitar have?

None of the above. RGs are different. Dinky/Soloist-like, yes. But, IMHO, significantly different. Especially the horns.

Do you consider the RG body smaller or bigger than the Dinky PC1 body?
