Difference between Dinky and Soloist body shapes

[Econ]

What's the difference between a Dinly body shape and a Soloist body shape? Does anyone know where can I purchase dinky shaped replacement bodies?

Re: Difference between Dinky and Soloist body shapes

I gonna take a guess on this one since I don't own a Dinky. My understanding is that a Dinky is a "bolt on" neck and a Soloist is a "neck thru". I just got today a Soloist (bolt on) from Warmoth. It is perfect. Those guy's repeatably do great work. Same body size? Someone else will chime in here.

The horns on a soloist are a little longer, and cut slightly different around the neck pocket. Other than than very similar.

> I've also had questions about this. I've always thought of the Dinky style as the short-horn,squared edge style,like the 3DR or late 90's DK1,and the longer horned,occasionally scalloped version as the Soloist,whether it was a bolt-on or not. Tommy D.

The body itself is also minimally larger...

For comparison: Model 6 /Dinky /Fusion / Soloist

The only substantive difference is if there are a different number of frets. So 24 fret Dinky bodies are nearly identical to 24 fret Soloists. And 22 fret Dinkies are like (rare) 22 fret Soloists.

The shorter horns shown on the Dinky above are ONLY becuase you're comparing a 22 fret Dinky to a 24 fret Soloist. The current DK1 model - which has 24 frets - is nearly identical to a Soloist.

That's what I thought when comparing the newer Dinky to the same year Soloist.

They're all beautiful - but I like the natural Soloist best. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Looks like he got lucky sanding it down. Usually when you see this done, the body wings don't even come close to matching up.

Natural soloists look AWESOME! There was a Natural flametop on the bay a while back that had me Gas'ing like a mofo!
