heymisterk Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Can someone briefly explain what exactly a guitar neck tenon is, and why a longer one is better? I've seen the longer ones hyped up by some of the sellers in shops and on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 The neck tenon is the section of wood on the neck that imbeds into the body for neck to body connection. The longer tennon will give a stronger connection and improve sustain because the connection goes deeper into the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 heymisterk, in case you're wondering. Nowadays... Les Pauls - only historic reissues ('57, '59, etc) have long neck tenon. SGs - only the two Custom Shop and (I believe) the '61RI have long neck tenon. ES-335s - all 335s have long neck tenon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Every other LP that's regular production, yes. I didn't get into signature models. Flight's Slash also has a solid body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrktwn Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 What would you call this ? An effort to make a neck, 22 frets clear of the body, that wont fall off. Really, its a comparatively short tenon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
