Are there any other pictures from this show floating around?mjet260 wrote:
I haven't found the edges of the board to be too sharp. They still used wooden fretboards too, so they naturally round a bit with age and wear. Some of the later ones have a very slight radius. I don't think I have seen one sell for less than $2k for a decent while now, unfortunately They seem to be catching on a bit. For a long time they always seemed to sell for 12-1500 or so. there's always an exception though, so keep your eyes peeledrabidhamster wrote: wow, that sounds wonderful. I've always thought a perfectly round neck would be great. I cant stand thin-flat necks though, like lots of SGs have, and worried thats how it would be. I think the no radius business might be slightly weird at first, but Id get used to it, as long as it didnt make the edges of the fretboard feel sharp and angular. I dig classical guitars, and they have a flat radius, and my favorite old harmony/airline/whatever it is offset-copy has what looks like an almost flat radius, so now I think I've gotta have one. I guess fretting out on a bean isnt an option, ey
If these things can still be had for less than 2000 bucks, that just might be my next guitar purchase, instead of a Paul Reed Smith.
Cool! That way is better than the way Gibson make their necks which is by eye. Always seemed a little dodgy to mei love sharin foo wrote: The Bean mecks were turned on a lathe, so the backs are perfectly round. Mine seems to be a little thicker in the lower register and a little thinner up high when compared to most wooden necks. It is mainly because it keeps pretty much the same profile all the way up. Most Beans had NO radius on the fretboard. NONE! It actually feels pretty natural for me.
