I was wondering if anybody out there has a Scheerhorn with a carbon fiber insert in the neck. If so, what do you think about the sound comparison to a 'horn without it? I just bought a maple L body on Monday and, to my ears, this guitar not only had the requisite tonal characteristics of Tim's guitars, but also some pretty amazing sustain. It just had "it" - whatever that might be. You know it when you play it, though. In talking to Tim yesterday, I learned that the guitar had a carbon fiber insert in the neck (that explains the solid curly maple neck) like Tim used in Jerry's famous "Headless Scheerhorn". In comparing this to my other maple L, this guitar is noticeably different. I would have to say both guitars had been played about the same and they are fairly close in age (on a '98 and this one a '02). I'd never played a Scheerhorn with the carbon fiber though and wanted to see what some other RN folks experiences/opinions are.
