Guitar Question

[Huffman83]

My main question is this, is the guitar a set neck or bolt on?

*set neck is glued into the body, bolt on has a metal plate where the neck and body connects. If it's a set neck it would be worth more, but like $250.

Ugly yet cool looking guitar.

Typical Les Paul knock-off. I'd pay $150 tops if the thing is in good condition.

It's not that it's a bad thing it's a cheap guitar thing. Most guitars under $1k are bolted on in some form. The other ones are what you call a "neck-through-body" which means basically the whole thing is made out of 1 piece of wood.

$150 and as long as the neck isn't warped and the overall condition is good you got a ok deal.

Very few are actually "neck thru" (one piece of wood) but they are out there. If it's not a bolt on neck (with a plate or some screws at that joint) then it's probably a glued neck or a "set neck."

I haven't looked lately but I think your hiher end Ibanez an Charvel Jackson guitars are all neck thru aren't they? Or am I still stuck in the 80's?
