      Call me stupid, but does an aluminum neck really make a difference? I mean the pickups are the ones making the sound right? I am really confused.

      Exactly - As it's done in the video, we have no idea if the sound of the guitar was changed at all. I initially thought it sounded quite bright but was that really due to the new neck? Without an A/B - preferably with the visual turned off or moved away from the necks for a moment so we are not influenced by what we see - I can't say the neck had any affect on the sound. It does look quite cool!

  • @stoneysdead689
    @stoneysdead689 Před 2 lety +1

    It has a little more high-end and it's just a tiny bit smoother sounding- because when you're using vibrato the string isn't rubbing over a rough surface- has a flow to it that I really like. If you shred- this thing would be perfect imo. Also sounds great for elevator jazz- which I happen to like so- maybe I'll get to put one together some day. Looks easy enough to do- the only part I've never done is taking the neck off and replacing it but- with the bolt on Fender design- no shims or anything- easy to do.

      You're not crazy. The high end could just as (or more) easily be accounted for by the amplifier settings or the capacitor on the tone pot. Neck material makes such a negligible difference in tone, it's easily covered by the electronics.

      @@DavidHite this is simply a false statement regarding tone wood. comments on the electronics is true. Check out a pbass or jbass comparison. Same model with maple fingerboard vs. rosewood. You will find if you put the two through a spectrum analyzer at matched volume, there is actually a few DB's of a difference in certain frequency areas. So objectively, it in fact does make more than a negligible difference if you dont feel like compensating with your equalizer in a surgical way all the time

      @@chrismusicx sure, you can see the difference with a spectrum analyzer and even hear the difference with your ears. But it's not a radical difference. It's easier (not to mention cheaper) to tweak a knob on your amplifier or guitar, or even change the position of your picking hand than to change instruments. Granted, much of that goes out the door with acoustic instruments, but even with that, the position of your hands likely makes a much more significant and noticeable difference than the neck material.

      My first brand name guitar was an Ovation Matrix, it had an aluminum neck. By and large, the neck contributes little to the sound, imo, the Matrix's body projects differently than a wide body; back to the neck, the frets cratered out in @2-2/2 years and there was a 6 month backlog in getting a replacement.
