I Want a Headless

[Los-D]

Corona Gravity NT

These are $690 on eBay right now. I had a Corona Ape a few years back that was pretty dang decent (with EMGs).

What I haven’t found are 22 fret headless strats aside from the Kiesel Delos HD. Strandberg Classics are 24 only, as are the cheap headless copies. Any ideas?

How about the….Kiesel Delos HD?

The Kiesel is actually a pretty cool guitar, that’s generally well made. You just have to rinse the Jeff Kiesel douche-stank off of it.

I have a Ghost 6 multiscale. Absolutely the most terrible neck/fretwork I've ever witnessed on a guitar that I've owned.

It's at a Luthier now to get refretted.

Doesn't mean anything about the one you may buy, definitely bring a fret rocker and test it up and down the neck.

Don't have a fret rocker. Will a steel ruler do?

Any tips? Meeting this guy in two hours.

Sight the neck from the body. Check the relief by fretting the G string on the 1st and 14th fret, then look at the gap under fret 7 . It should be less than the thickness of the high E. A perfect neck will have slight relief under fret 7-8 and be perfectly level from around 12 to the end ,possibly even with a slight fall away in the very top. Check for signs of damage to the truss rod nut . Look for over tightened screws crushing the wood. In fact look for sighs of any incompetent adjustment ( damage to screw heads etc). Good luck and don’t buy it unless you are confident in your judgement.

What kind of pickups are those? Are they just Legators in house?

Did someone say headless?

Really nice guitar. Price is a little eye-watering, but everything looks, plays, and feels great.

That’s next on my list.

BK pickups?

$5000 though. Somewhat apples/oranges, but I’d rather have an Aristides.

I want both. I will get one under 2K.

Then it’s a good deal. It’s not something I’d pay $5000 for. The Aristides is.

My Aristides was £1900.

Discussing price and value, and factoring in used is kind of a rabbit hole of a discussion. Everything’s cheaper used (generally), and then depending on what it is can be had with great deals.
