Hey,
Being in the middle of the desert is great for many things, but my guitars' necks are not one of them. I've begun looking into guitars with neck reinforcement to prevent warping from the frequent, extreme temperature and humidity changes. It takes a lot of work to keep the necks in shape and I've been adjusting the truss rod for my #1 on a regular basis to keep it in spec. Even so, I can see where some twisting is beginning to set in. I keep it in my room, so it isn't exposed to any adverse conditions. That's just the way this environment is, especially during monsoon.
If anyone has experience with a particular brand that uses carbon fiber or aluminum reinforcement, please give me your opinion about the overall quality of the guitars and a frame of reference, if necessary, to the way they feel compared to a major brand. I happen to like Gibson "D" and ESP "Thin U" necks most.
Thanks.
