Ghost-tang option on all necks?

[Joe1166]

Is there a ghost-tang option on all necks?

 

[aarontunes]

No. It's something special we do for our fully-built guitars only.

Building parts is a 100% totally and completely different thing than building complete guitars.

What the heck is a 'ghost tang'? Would it be the ghost of someone who died drinking 'Tang'? ... (or would that be a 'tang ghost'...)

Meadhawks says Fret Size & Material: Stainless Steel 6150, Ghost-tang installation

It sounds like undercutting the tang

The fret slot is not cut all the way across, but is a slot done by CNC. Then the fret needs part of the tang taken away at the edges to fit into the slot. Otherwise known as blind slots. It acheives a similar result to what you might have with a bound neck, but without the binding.

In germany, the technical term for these tiny routers is PLING.

I'm kidding, it's not. But it's the sound they make, when you go in too fast.

Onomatopoeia is weird across languages. Why do dogs bark in English but blaft in Dutch and aboyer in French?

Different dogs, maybe?

In german the verb is "bellen", or "kleffen", if it's a smaller dog. But the sound is described as "wuff wuff" or "wau wau".

It's more clear with cats; they do "miauen" or "mauzen", as they make sounds like "miau" or "mau", which are phoneticly the same as for example "meow" or "mow" in english.

Is this at all related to Wu tang?

 

[bonesofwrath]

And Mao in China also. From this we can conclude that dogs are just making sounds but cats are actually speaking
