      Exactly - As it's done in the video, we have no idea if the sound of the guitar was changed at all. I initially thought it sounded quite bright but was that really due to the new neck? Without an A/B - preferably with the visual turned off or moved away from the necks for a moment so we are not influenced by what we see - I can't say the neck had any affect on the sound. It does look quite cool!

      @@DavidHite this is simply a false statement regarding tone wood. comments on the electronics is true. Check out a pbass or jbass comparison. Same model with maple fingerboard vs. rosewood. You will find if you put the two through a spectrum analyzer at matched volume, there is actually a few DB's of a difference in certain frequency areas. So objectively, it in fact does make more than a negligible difference if you dont feel like compensating with your equalizer in a surgical way all the time

It's easier (not to mention cheaper) to tweak a knob on your amplifier or guitar, or even change the position of your picking hand than to change instruments. Granted, much of that goes out the door with acoustic instruments, but even with that, the position of your hands likely makes a much more significant and noticeable difference than the neck material.

    It has a little more high-end and it's just a tiny bit smoother sounding- because when you're using vibrato the string isn't rubbing over a rough surface- has a flow to it that I really like. If you shred- this thing would be perfect imo. Also sounds great for elevator jazz- which I happen to like so- maybe I'll get to put one together some day. Looks easy enough to do- the only part I've never done is taking the neck off and replacing it but- with the bolt on Fender design- no shims or anything- easy to do.

      My first brand name guitar was an Ovation Matrix, it had an aluminum neck. By and large, the neck contributes little to the sound, imo, the Matrix's body projects differently than a wide body; back to the neck, the frets cratered out in @2-2/2 years and there was a 6 month backlog in getting a replacement.

    A couple of guitars you should try to track down:
    1) Bond electric guitar. Mick Jones of The Clash used one as his primary guitar when he started Big Audio Dynamite. Had a synthetic fretboard with a saw-looking profile. Each "tooth" of the saw served as a fret.
    2) Ok, not a guitar, but Novatone made a guitar neck with interchangeable fingerboards. Their biggest name endorsee was bassist Tony Levin, who used them with Peter Gabriel in the '80s.

      Didn't see you put any lemon oil on the neck. That aluminium is soooo going to dry out!!

      Yon Slash he’s winding the strings using a pegwinder (maybe Ernie Ball’s Powerpeg?)

    It still sounds like a regular electric guitar to me.

      I’ve had a number of the squier affinity strats over the years and that neck definitely gave it a more tinny sound than a standard wood neck. People saying otherwise simply haven’t played affinity strats or they just don’t possess the skills required to hear the difference

      @@xx3astmanxx287 I just don't know man... I mean, the video's title is quite misleading as the guy also replaced the pickups (enhancing the sounding possibilities of the guitar) so it kinda ruins it for me, but for my untrained ear is quite difficult to really tell any difference. That being said, I reckon you trained ear is one rare blessing that we people should have to improve (if possible), so props to you, my friend.
