As a single piece neck through guitar? It sounds like something PRS or Suhr might try, as in carving a body and a neck out of a single slab of wood. I know it would be pricey, but has anyone seen one?

Custom only really. Its not going to do anything a neck-through wouldn't do......so even from that initial perspective it would be a bad idea.
In addition to the stupidly expensive wood (reason #2) it could (read: would) have all sorts of warp issues (reason #3 and by far the most important) due to grain/blank size that would combine to make it plainly silly for any company to take on from a commercial perspective.Last edited by AlexR; 08-11-2018, 09:24 AM.

Re: Is there such thing...
Seen someone selling an unpainted/unfinished one on ebay many many years ago. Alex
makes a number of good points. I was interested in it conceptually, a couple years ago, but lost interest after realizing most of my fav sounding guitars are bolt onLast edited by Open lane; 08-11-2018, 05:38 PM.

It does strike me as the type of thing a real cocky player would use to say "you can't get my tone without this really expensive thing".You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why

I saw a video where some French company carved an entire guitar out of a single block of wood
Velo
Or some such
Around 10 grand each
The case was made out of the remnants of the CNC carvingEHD

Laminated necks rule, they rule even more in neck-through-body designs.

Re: Is there such thing...
I saw one guitar that retailed for $60,000 that was made of one-piece old-growth wood. Some people thought it looked ugly but I really liked the design of it. I forget what the brand was called now but here's a couple of pictures.
