The JS10th was Ibanez's second attempt at producing a chromed JS. The JS10th is a unique guitar with a luthite (plastic) body encased in chrome. Chrome plating such a curvy instrument is a very complex and difficult process resulting in many small (and some not so small) imperfections. Ibanez produced 506 of the JS10th model.
In the 1970s and 1980s Mike Rutherford of Genesis was known for playing a custom-made Shergold Modulator twin-neck guitar-bass unit in live shows, as he frequently changed between lead guitar, 12-string guitar and bass guitar, depending on the arrangement of the song. The unique design of this guitar set is that it consists of several modular ...
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 ]
Unlike the harp guitar, the extended-range classical guitar has a single neck and allows all strings to be fretted. While the six-string classical guitar remains the standard and most common instrument, since 1963 ten-string guitars in similar configuration to the original Ramírez have been adopted by many classical guitarists and produced by ...
The 24.75" scale mahogany neck joins the body at the 19th or 22nd fret. Early models had a smaller neck joint with a longer tenon. This neck design provided access above the 16th fret. Epiphone-made bolt-on neck models still use a 16th fret neck joint. [6] [note 1] The SG's set neck is shallower than the Gibson Les Paul's.
The NT neck fitted into a slot on top of the guitar body, achieving the desired angle with small shims. Guitars sometimes require neck angle realignment (neck reset), and the NT system achieved this by changing shims. Prior to 1999, Taylor Guitars had a simple bolt-on neck design which could be adjusted without the complex process of ungluing ...

Like Rickenbacker and Jackson, B.C. Rich used a "neck-through" body design in many of their instruments. In 2006, they introduced the IT (Invisibolt Technology) series, which combines elements of bolt-on and neck-through designs: The neck is bolted inside the body to make the guitar look much like a "neck-through", but the neck joint is still ...
