Bolt-on versus set-neck.

[Zachman]

I think there is a lot more transfer between a bolt-on than a set neck. Especially with the new style nut-serts on the neck side. That is a tighter joint with more contact than a mortise and tenon with glue. It's usually the scale length snappiness of the Strat that makes the difference.
On this topic, who can I find to make me a 25.5" Les Paul with a Floyd Rose?

Kage had GMW make him one.

It's mine now.




Kage actually had GMW make him 2, and he still has the other, last I know. The one he still has has the Strat scale length neck thru:

Those are cool axes. The purple one is 25.5" but the black one is 24.75"?
As blasphemous as it is to the Gibson guys, my dream axe would be a 25.5" LP with a non-recessed Floyd, jumbo frets, thinner neck profile with flat 16" or compound radius. I would also want the body blown up a little bit to make it look like it was in proportion to the neck scale. I would be ripping/riffing on that !
