B-Compact Multi-neck
Due to the unique removable neck concept with Brunner SNAP System where the strings come off the bridge as well, a new possibility opened up; you can haveone guitar body with several exchangeable necks! That’s what we call the “Multi-neck Option”!
So instead of having just a single steel string guitar, you can also turn it into Classical guitar, a Baritone a short scale Bass, a Lap-steel and the list goes on. Each neck is individually perfectly fitted to the body with the correct angle for the perfect string action and intonation. Also each neck comes with a matching string holder pieces that fits perfectly onto the bridge on the body. So each neck is always ready to go and you can switch between to instruments within 30 seconds and even be pretty much in tune right away! For some necks also an extra bridge insert is needed as not all strings require the same kind of intonation.
Possibilities and limitations
There are some neck combinations that work better than others due to the different string tensions. For example, if the guitar is meant to have a classical neck only the top is built much lighter to maximize the sound. In the case of a multi-neck model with a nylon and steel string neck the guitar top needs to be built according to the much higher tension of the steel string neck which would mean a bit of a compromise for the Nylon strings. So basically neck combinations with a similar string tension work best without having to compromise on tone quality.
For example great combination are Guitar/Baritone, Guitar/4-string Bass, Guitar/Lap-steel, Guitar/Bouzouki…
If we are talking about an electric or semi-acoustic guitar which is only played amplified those limitations don’t really apply and pretty much all combination are possible with the according pick-ups.
The Multi-neck option is offered on the B-C Small and Full-size bodies for Acoustics and the slim body Electrics. For each extra neck there is an extra bag provided or there are also backpacks available, that fit two necks (if the second neck is not longer).
Can I order an additional neck for my existing B-Compact guitar?
Yes you can, but to assure that the neck angle, intonation and the fit in the pocket is perfect I will need to have your existing guitar at the shop in Lavin during the finishing process to make those adjustments. So to avoid some extra shipping costs and hassle with customs when sending the guitar back and forth it is always cheaper and easier to order an extra neck in the first place…
