blunty said:Anyway, just looking for abit more sustain. Can upgrade the hardware later i hope. Thanks for the advise.
JohnA said:Agree Marcus, the tenon length is mostly cosmetic
blunty said:Long tenon is just for cosmetic, when we don't see it unless the guitar is taken apart?

Have a look at the Les Paul forum, or even this one. Everyone pulls outtheir neck pickup to photograph their tenon! I'm guilty too :wink:
IMO it's up there with bumble-bee repro caps and cloth wire! makes no difference but we all love it![]()

Not necessarily. Modern manufacturing techniques mean that quality is more important than the type of joint used.
If you want sustain then Faber hardware will be a big help, as will heavier strings and a good setup. People are far too eager to change everything about their guitar when a few simple tweaks will do the job.
blunty said:Not sure what you mean by modern manufacturing techniques, but have taken photos of the join on both E-LP85CD and LS125SEB. They looks different... one looks modern and the other, traditional... will post picture later.
blunty said:So, inorder to increase the sustains on the LS125SEB, need to change the aluminum tail to Faber hardware? Thanks for the advice![]()

If you want sustain, learn how to improve your vibrato...if you think sustain comes from long tenons then you're bored.
No long tenon, no aluminium tail piece or brass saddles, no tubes, no CTS pots or bumblebees, just a stock LS95.
