I just brought a "project" that included an arbor neck that I can't use, wrong scale.
Anyone know anything about the company and guitars?

Arbor actually made some decent neckthrough models in the 80s. Not great, but not junk like Hondo.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

I had one of their Star basses. Guitar-sized Star body with a bass neck. It was neckthrough. Crappy pickups, no idea how to set it up for playability, and a crappy home stereo for an amp.
The bass had sustain that you would not believe.
People are always on about neckthrough having more sustain vs bolt-on/setneck - for guitars, it's not measurable, but it's really noticeable on bass. I've had better-brand basses since then - neckthrough, bolt on, USA, Japanese, MexiFender - and not one could/can hold an open E the way that Arbor could.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

I think Dana Strum from Slaughter had the "kinda Flying V, Kinda Rhoads-ish" looking bass thing, which I believe was an Arbor. There fore, I don't like them!
I hate Dana. Total choad.

yes, dana strum played those weird arbor things. ugly as hell.
that said, a friend of mine had a 2 color burst strat that was made of actual wood, had a MOP logo, and was actually quite nice. it was used as a dealer demo guitar.
however, his other arbor was a plywood explorer that was just delightful. that was the first guitar i did a paint job on....painted it cowskin, and it was cool.
