Mostly good, but Jesús that neck is just waiting to be broken. A Strat is much more robust design.

- ushakov 5y agoyou have to be more careful, it's an instrument i have mine insured on lemonade.com design-wise there's also PRS, which gives you a little of both
- mgamache 5y agoPRS is a modern version. The string angles and neck are not from the 1950s. Les Pauls are made for wound G strings, those haven't been in regular use in 50 years. Watch this from Get Back... This happens when you play in a band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FMxlRNrEVo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FMxlRNrEVo

- emptybottle 5y agoI think this could be generalized to say that bolt-on necks are more robust than set necks in terms of maintenance over time. I do tend to agree with that, because over time the tension from the strings will pull up on a neck and make the guitar sound and play poorly. To fix that you have to take the neck off and adjust the angle of it back to the optimal position, which is a big task if the neck is glued on. With a bolt-on unscrewing a few bolts and adding a shim is trivial, using a capo you don't even need to take of the strings. It's a main reason why I like Taylor acoustic guitars too. The bolt-on shimmed neck makes neck resets a breeze and will keep the guitar playing well for a very long time.
