Head Over Heels

The video was filmed at the Emmanuel College Library in Toronto, Ontario. The pouty librarian is Joan Densmore, a Canadian model, and that seems to be all anyone knows.

There is a lot of nonsense that gets floated through the guitar industry about neck mountings, mostly invented by marketing departments to justify outlandish prices. 'Set' and 'through' necks are simply luthiery baggage from the middle ages, literally, as in 500 years ago before screws had been invented, or at least were in common use. Any difference in tone or sustain is purely imaginary on the part of the sucker who paid an extra thousand dollars for it, and has no choice but to believe the BS or admit he was had.
