I don't think that one-piece guitars are the only "true neck though" ones. I'd never hear of such a thing until I came here. Hell, "neck-thru" implies it goes through something else. The page should be rephrased. --Howdybob 13:14, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Sure, feel free to rephrase it, if you have better variants. --GreyCat 21:18, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I did, though this article still needs more content. --Howdybob 03:39, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page title

Does anyone else think that the page would be better called 'Through neck' construction or something like that/ I think it can apply to some other strig instruments too! 8-|--Light current 16:15, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I think "neck through body" would be best as it's a complete phrase with proper spelling. The article does need work and you can feel free to add to it if you have info on other instruments or anything else. --Howdybob 23:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree with "neck through body" version --GreyCat 01:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One piece neck?

Most neck-thru guitars I've seen have the neck made of either 3 or 5 pieces, never only one single piece. That'd be kind of a lot easier to warp 201.23.64.2 06:10, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disadvantages.

I know one neck-through owner concerned that the life of his guitar depends on the life of the neck. Does reality justify this concern? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ToMega666 (talk • contribs) 18:35, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Origins

In the aricle, it is stated that the Neck-Through design was first used by B.C. Rich, although I know for a fact that Rickenbacker guitars and basses have used this feature for long before the B.C. Rich company was even created, having been used since at least the mid 1950s. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.86.151.244 (talk) 04:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC).
