I think Orpheo uses a 17-piece neck. I doubt those headstocks would break.Administrator of the SDUGF

Is is a tradition thing that people don't like about the scarf joint? It seems pretty stable.

No neck I've ever repaired ever broke again, as it's well treaded ground that done correctly -it's stronger than new.
I've never heard significant difference in tone more than bumping the tone dial on the guitar, pedal, or amp up or down barely a touch wouldn't compensate for.
I don't think the extremely minor tone shift should/would affect the value -after all they didn't hear the guitar before presumably, I think the decline in value (other than the disclosure that it's simply been broken once and grade has lowered) is that when you buy a guitar a major repair mark on the neck would remind you that someone else stroked your lady first. -So psychological at most -not functional“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

That is a very good question.... Scarf joint NO-NO, but intentionally hacked up and mangled guitars are great, because they sound better, not to mention the super resonant boutique clear coat People are weird.

Explain to me why a scarf jointed hs is a no-no, because that’s directly contrary to everything I’ve played, broken, and witnessed.

Ah, I failed to make my sarcasm obvious, sorry. Nothing wrong with it, that's what I'm saying. That people talk shyte about the scarf joint being bad, then they go on to believe in gibberish. So I basically meant it the other way round as how you understood it.
