Different Necks for Different Folks?

[Imdead]

I recently played a neck-thru (I'm sorry, I'm not sure what model, nor brand) and it felt a bit akward, I'm used to playing a bolt-on (BC Rich Warlock). Most people I've asked this question say there really is no difference, but does anybody know if there are any advantages and disadvantages to neck-thrus, bolt-ons, and glue-on necks? Any input would be greatly appreciated, as I'm close to buying my next guitar (being poor sucks -_-) and I'm trying to decide what brand to go. Thanks a ton!

All I I know is that Neck-thru guitars give out more sustain. But I know nothing about set necks or bolt on necks.

The advantages for bolt on necks is repair. If your neck is warped and bent out of shape, you can just buy a new one. But as for a neck through... I think you'd have to replace the whole guitar, or there would be ALOT of work to be done on it

Bolts, set neck, or neck through can all be shaped the same. So that neck you played that is neck through doesn't mean it didnt feel right because it was neck through. It was just the shape of the neck that you didn't like.

Neck through offers the best sustain.
Set neck behind neck through.
And bolt-on offers the least sustain.

Those are just general statements, just because a guitar is neck through doesn't mean it is better than another guitar that has a bolt. But just in general, the list I put is true.

I'm totally used to playing Bolt-ons, but ESP is right- Set necks and ve better sustain. And I've found that you generally have better access to the upper frets.

[ESP_Viper]

The type of neck joint that it has doesn't really affect the ease of access to the upper frets. That's just how the cut aways are. They aren't connected usually.

The example I was using was-

The Schecter C1+ has a set neck, and as opposed to the standard C1, it is much easier to access the upper end of the second octave
