The lower control knob is a three-position rotary switch, selecting between the neck pickup, neck + humbucker, or humbucker. The guitar body is basswood 1-9/16" thick (~1/4" thinner than standard Strats), with edge reliefs for forearm & belly, with 2 separate pickup cavities, connected by a drilled passage started from the neck pocket.
The neck of a guitar includes the guitar's frets, fretboard, tuners, headstock, and truss rod. The wood used to make the fretboard will usually differ from the wood in the rest of the neck. The bending stress on the neck is considerable, particularly when heavier gauge strings are used, and the ability of the neck to resist bending is important ...
The neck is most frequently attached to the body at the 14th fret, although in its earliest incarnation—and still on some more recent models—the neck joins the body at the 12th fret ("12-fret" configuration, in association with a larger, round shouldered body size and shape, most commonly in conjunction with the slotted headstock style).

The first tablature program was written for the Amstrad CPC 464 in 1986. "Tab Composer CPC" was implemented in Locomotive BASIC 1.0. It offered a multi-page graphical WYSIWYG, 3-channel polyphonic playback and volume and tone envelope functionality, as well as save and load.
Truss rods are frequently made out of steel, though graphite and other materials are sometimes used.. The truss rod can be adjusted to compensate for expansion or contraction in the neck wood due to changes in humidity or temperature, or to compensate for changes in the tension of the strings (the thicker the guitar string, the higher its tension when tuned to correct pitch) or using different ...

A model with a 4-string bass and a 6-string guitar neck was called the EBS-1250; it had a built-in fuzztone and was produced from 1962 to 1968 and again from 1977 to 1978. [ 4 ] In 1963, the solid-body EDS-1275 was designed, resembling the SG model ; this version of the doubleneck was available until 1968. [ 5 ]
One particular example of a bolt-on neck using an actual bolt is Brian May's homemade Red Special, which uses a single bolt held in place by the guitar's truss rod and secured with a nut on the rear of the body. [4] An acoustic guitar bolt-on neck popularized by Taylor Guitars includes threaded inserts in the heel of the neck. Bolts inserted ...
