  1. Neck wood density, head stock shape, string gauge and tension, all play apart in how the neck plays a

    part in the sound.

     

    Being a bolt-on neck, it by it nature does not have the same acoustical coupling as a set neck. The whole

    bolt-on neck idea was about making manufacturing easier to mix and match necks and bodies, do quick

    swap repairs, and had little to do with sound.

     

    Bolt-on necks are a recent thing in the history of string instrument, introduced by Leo Fender as I recall. Set neck was

    the standard way for almost a millennia until then.

     

    Some like less sustain, because they can add to it with a sustain effect. Once resonance in it, it's hard to take it out. 

    Yes, the tail piece and bridge being the other end of the guitar play their roles in the sound as well. Interaction of resonances

    and tensions. Too stiff, it pinches and deadens to note. Too loose and it get floppy, droopy and dies away.

     

    It's about finding that happy mid ground.

     

  2. Looks like it goes to 10.8 Mountain Lion. Catalina is too far ahead for it.

    And a 500 Electric is not compatible with Workbench HD, too many differences

    between old and new models formats.

     

    Use an older computer to interface with a 500 that uses OS compatible with old Workbench.
