Q « «
Why are all of your guitars neck-through instead of bolt-on or set-neck?
A « «
We manufacture guitars with all styles of neck joints for other oem's but
for our own we use what neck-through because it allows us to machine the entire
guitar at once as a complete unit. This means the most accurate fret work and
perfect alignment of all pockets and components. And no joints of any kind to
cause trouble even after years of use and abuse.
Q « «
Why do all your guitars come with a 12" fingerboard radius?
A « «
In the begining we did compound radius fingerboards. This is the best way
for the frets to follow the natural curvature of the strings. We stopped doing
this because although our machines can cut this radius to within .002". The
problem starts when the sanding starts. There is just no way to keep that kind
of accuracy when sanding a compound radius. We have invested tons of time and
money in making our 12" radius boards the best out there. We can do any radius
including compound as a custom order, but we feel that for 99% of guitarists
out there, 12" is a good middle ground.

Is there a warranty on Fast Guitars?
A « «
Yes. Every guitar has a lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects.

Q « «
What kind of finish do you use?
A « «
Thin polyester base coat and thin polyurethane clear. This means that
glass like finish will last forever with no cracking, checking, fading or
shrinking for years to come while still allowing all the beautiful woods
to do their thing.
Q « «
Do you do repairs?

on the job. We might do repairs or setups on other guitars depending on our
workload at the time. info@fastguitars.ca with your inquiries.
Q « «
Why so few models to choose from?
A « «
We are designing new stuff all the time. We wont put out a new model until
we are 100% satisfied with it. Expect one or two new models per year. If you
want something different, try the custom shop.
