Does anyone have some accurate dimensions on the Comins GCS-16 neck?
I prefer chunky necks but not huge.
I have had my hands on an early GCS-1 semihollow and it was too small for me.
My hope is that the GCS-16 is bigger.
Hard to find newer Archtop guitars with any substantial sized necks.
I ended up with a Benedetto Bambino that has medium sized
.850”to 1” It’s the only Bambino that had enough shoulder as well.
I finally got the guitar today, and I will say it's a lovely guitar. I've been playing on an Eastman Romeo LA with flatwounds and getting a nice tone, but still wanted a full hollowbody and the Comins certainly delivers.
The neck does have a nice c shape, albeit on the smaller size. I think that for jazz playing/manuevering (it's certainly more demanding with my skillset), it probably is for the better that it's a smaller than a nice '57 Les Paul neck.
Here's the measurements I took. I couldn't take them from the 12th because the transition to the heel has already occurred, and it seems that the 10th fret is the closest place to take a measurement that makes sense.
I measure the fretboard from the corner of the binding, back around the neck, to the other edge of the binding. It can kind of give a sense of shoulders if you compare to other guitars.
Thank you so much, I do appreciate it. Unfortunately for me, the size at the first fret is too small for my preferences.
That said, how do you like the acoustic sound unplugged?
I am not an atheist by choice, but because there are religions. If there weren't any religions, I wouldn't be an atheist.
Anyway.
The OP: simply because evolution hasn't caught up with humans fast...
8 months yesterday, and...I finally had a major breakthrough today....
Somehow found my set. Found breath control. No straining....my embouchure is riding a fat cushion of relaxed lip. I figured...
I tried peanut butter and jealy once, I didn't like it. The two tastes cancelled each other out and it was just mushy. Peanut Butter and Marmite's nice.
I turned my Bianchi Camaleonte 3 hybrid upside down, only to discover the frame was welded together in Cambodia. Not that it matters; my left knee needs a new hinge before I can do any serious...
Nope. If its caused by buzz it might help but its really just the physics of an archtop...or really any guitar. Its just more obvious on an archtop vs other electrics. The thing I am talking about...
Guitar Amps built into case?
