I do not believe that a set or glued neck provides a more "solid" joint. In my book, both are equally as solid and stable. One does not top the other looking strictly at strength and longevity.

What I am saying is perhaps the glue works something like a capacitor would on a tone knob. It's bleeding off some of the highs. Is this a bad thing? No. I'm not one to tell you what you should believe in terms of tone.

And nor am I to believe that one certain tone is the be all end all. Certain tones have certain applications. My Yairi is PERFECT for bluegrass runs, and songs that I write that lean towards the darker side. But, in the terms of a full band (Rhythm, lead, bass, drums) it dosn't cut through the mix. It's too dark.

The Taylor lends itself more to the upbeat stuff, and cuts through perfectly in a band mix.

Tone is objective, and I'm not one to cross swords. I'm simply stating an observation and wondering if anyone has had the same thoughts.
