I almost never do! But maybe I should say instead that, in seconds, the player can and should do a neck reset any time it needs it. If the adjustment bottoms out (hasn't happened yet), it's an hour at most to adjust things to give it more room.

The point is, it is almost impossible to measure the effects of these things independent of all other factors. Added to that, most guitars that feature adjustable necks (certainly including mine!) have many other 'modern' features and design elements that will significantly affect the sound, so any kind of direct comparison to a traditionally-built instrument goes right out the window. I guess my point is that the comparison is not really useful - it's like comparing ice cream to cheese. Both can be delicious and tasty, and both are edibles made from milk...but they're not the same thing, and so shouldn't be compared as if they were. That having been said - the only question, really, is whether the resulting instrument is successful, useful, and musical. I've considered hiding my neck adjuster under a strap pin, just so people wouldn't know it was there...and thus might not decide they're hearing the neck joint before they even pick up the guitar. This is something we all do to varying extents, but it can be a real challenge for a builder who is trying to push into non-traditional territory. At the end of the day, all that matters is whether the guitar is any good! Cheers, Martin |
