    Are you doing it properly and making a neck-through, or are you going to be a coward and have a bolt-on neck?

    EDIT - www.projectguitar.com might help.

    Is it possible that Matra has not "gotten" a joke? I'm sure that post then by MP was just a piss-take.

    What a suprise, a finely tuned Scottish sense of humor defeated by a rough Texan one

    erm SO was the Bolan one

    Look at it, NOT the normal electric rock guitar

    We run with jokes, not just throw the odd one in and leave it. I've a whoel host of other 'iffy' guitars to post as follow-ups - shhhhh

    'classic' not many folks play them now.

    Mostly bought and put in the guitar collection and seldom played in gigs. But always able to say there's one in the collection In the 70s Bolan was the only glamrocker who continued the best

    I remember trying to build a guitar at school and learning the hard way why there is a truss rod. Wood warps. Unless you can get a VERY stable and close grained consisten piece for the neck, you'll need the truss rod to bring it under compression to prevent warping.

    You should go all out, and try to outdo Rick Nielson (from Cheap Trick). Think you can pull it off?

    You'll need around 20 or so pickups, start saving
