  • Victor was a stitcher

    That man wouldn't know a bolt if it hit him in the damn nuts. And who the he$$ is that.
    Oh Mrs Shelley you don't need to be a monster, the kids are a o.k.

    Sing along now: Mommas got a bolt on Daddy never sleeps at night.

    Hoxey aluminium neck.
    6061 aluminium
    Modern C
    .75 at 1st .8 at 12th
    12"/16" radius
    I ordered stainless frets and opted for a solid neck not chambered.

    It's polished aluminium.
    Excellent workmanship all around. Its outstanding. Fit perfect.
    Packaged very well for shipping.
    Their system is called EZAF and it really was. The heel has a ridgid plastic insert and you just screw into it.

    If you are looking for an aluminium neck, take a look at Hoxey Guitars. Very reasonable prices.
    I ordered it just after Christmas. Just got it, so 2 months.

          That is way cool. How does it affect the sound? (If at all.)

                ok super curious about the KolossI saw some bad reviews on it when it came out

                I am curiious about the neck as well

                is the Koloss neck as bad as was reported
                is the new neck an improvement

                are the frets on the new neck aluminum as well

                and mostly

                does it do metal?

                  Looks awesome. If you're playing an outdoor summer gig, does the neck get super hot?

                      That looks way cool with the lumi neck on there. How does it play?

                        Forget about the tone wood discussion, let's proceed to tone metals. Is a SS neck brighter than aluminum? Is steel duller or brighter than alu.? What about copper or brass necks? How much is difference in tone if the neck is from the first vs last casting of the day?

                          Myself as well. I seem to have a fondness for aluminium though.
                          I think it is a tough nut to crack sometimes in the guitar business, tradition, seems to me anyway, has a pretty good grip.

                            Thanks. It is pretty cool.
                            Ahhh the sound. Well without a before and after recording with exact settings and the proper tools I wouldn't fight to the death over it but it does seem to me there is a change. Things seem a little more precise, more bold, maybe up front. Clear?
                            I do hear something but........
                            ....My tuner says it's the same.

                              Thankyou. I am happy with how it turned out. A couple of small little things to tweak, maybe.
