Different Body shapes (Ken Smith basses)

[Jose Bichoff]

Ken,

Are there any differences in shape between Neck-thru and Bolt-on?

Kind regards

The body wings are exactly the same. They either get glued to the neck or the center block which is tapered like the neck. The back heel shaping is different between the two as with the NT, we can carve it heel-less without the bolts in the way. We only make a few bolt-ons now to order. Mostly we make just the NT's.

The Vintage is the older BT. The Fusion is a modified BSR shape. Mainly the placement of the BSR wings to the neck slightly offset a bit more and then the bottom curve instead of the point of the BSR (or BT).

The last BMT's were the first BSR Elites. If the serial number says BMT, it is a BMT.
