With the 5 fret grip, you can play a scale from the first to 12 frets with 4 positions. "you’d still get different fingerings every time you move up a fret" Not many, much fewer fingerings than...
Thats basically what I use too. Theres a sixth scale position I like too, but beyond that it’s a bit much
There's other seven positions, or one position (the whole neck), or any number in between. Or maybe more positions if we do the one octave thing. The more ways you have of doing things, the...
me too, some of my old guitars came that way to me and I like that spot though it seems to be one of the least popular
I like 4 because it keeps the guitar from flipping forward, and the screw is in solid wood. 1 & 2 can tilt a guitar in the case, causing the headstock and case-lid to be in constant contact.

Pos 1 or 2 for me As for straplocks, I had a set of Schaller in the past (not the new ones) and didn't feel secure with them. I almost dropped a guitar because it was not completely locked I'm...
I haven't watched it but bro, I have a feeling we're totally stoked and/or super psyched!
The position 5 (and to some extend 4) makes the guitar hang more snug when standing. Positions 1 and 2 make the guitar rotate slightly away from the body especially when it comes to deeper body...
So your freind says he prefers the Korean T50 to his US made SF3? That says something ! Thanks for your thoughtful comments, very interesting. How would you describe the sound of the Dyansonics ?...
Of course, before the interweb and forums we had Usenet and BBSs (and mailing lists) ... with far fewer people on them because connectivity wasn't as normal as it's now. No neck-specific newsgroup...
