    Well this ends the fight with my guitarist over body wood being tremendously important. Neck-through FTW!

    Dunno about that. The worst dead spot I ever encountered was on a neck-through.

    Was just giving this some thought. Much in the same way structures can resonate giving crazy footage like this http://youtube.com/watch?v=HxTZ446tbzE I'd imagine that's what's happening. The same obviously holds true for the dead spots where the sound wave is the reverse of the neck frequency.

    Anyway this got me thinking. In bridges, nowadays they use more than one material through the span so this won't happen. Then I thought is this why on certain instruments more than one type of wood is used in the neck etc.?
    :rolleyes: ie like this http://i14.ebayimg.com/03/i/05/fb/4d/79_2.JPG
