Vs and bolt-on necks

[fett]

I'm bored and I was looking for V's with set necks. They are rare. But that's not the point. V's with bolt ons just don't look right and WTF were they thinking.

[cdwillis]

I wouldn't say they're rare, they're easily found. Off the top of my head:

Jackson
Gibson
Epiphone
Reverend
Dean

All making set neck Vs.

I'm glad they do. I have a set neck Jackson V. It's more like a design flow. When I dig mine out, I just love how it looks and feels. Having a set neck, I would never buy a bolt on. But, that's just me.

What set neck Jackson V are we referring to here, guys?

[toejam]

Jackson doesn't have a set-neck V. The RR5, RR1, RR1T, KV2 and KV2T are all neck-thru body construction.

I would imagine my RR3 would be awesome with a thru neck.

Neck thru. So, I fukked up.:ROTF: Believe or not, I do know the dif. Back to my original observation, you assholes.:ROTF:

Well, you can't always tell with certain guitars. Schecter makes some that are "set through" and have smooth heels to make it look like they're neck-thru, but they're really set. Also, my Dean Dave Mustaine model is a set neck, according to the specs on their website, but you would think it went through.

Whatever.:ROTF: Having a neck thru V, I would not even consider a bolt on. Why do I do this to me?

[DonP]

I agree. A flying V doesn't look correct as a bolt-on.

A Set neck Jackson V for under $80.00 ?? No way!

I prefer my neck throughs for sure, but miss my RX10D and RR3, both bolt ons. Very solid great playing guitars.

[toejam]

They're all good. Some people like the more snappy attack of bolt-ons, and if a neck happens to break, it's easier to replace.

As well, with a bolt-on, you can put the strap pin on the front edge of the pocket and eliminate the nosedive.

Neck through is the way to go always. I won't buy a guitar that isn't neck through. Simple as that.
