Yes, because like Joe, you want your guitar to stay in tune, and having the TOM "right down at the body" does that. Good thing they got his design input.

That video is 9 years old, but it's still interesting to watch again. Very entertaining to watch and listen to him talk and play. Joe is a full on gear whore, too. He likes a lot of different brands of guitars and amps.
Joe has the craziest guitar faces I've ever seen:

"I cant even get Gibson to do this for me. I don't know why I didn't do this years ago..." - Joe Walsh
ears like a hawk
One of Joe's best works, ever.
Joe holds up his custom spec. Guitar to display neck angle and bridge height with a tune-o-matic bridge and string through body and says:
"This is like an old Les Paul, where the bridge is right on the body...I can't get anybody to do that...I can't even get Gibson to do that...That's like the old Les Pauls, ya know..."

Sub 300.00 Jackson bridge ---decked--- you aint gotta get a HIGH DOLLAR GEETAR to get LOW Babies....
It's all about the neck angle...too steep, and the bridge has to ride high. Too shallow, and you have to start digging a trench for that bridge...or grinding the bottom off.
Question is...how much settling will occur during the guitars lifetime. Not an issue with bolt on necks, as they can be shimmed if necessary.
Not usually a huge concern.
Unfortunately, Gibson don't build them like that anymore...and that seems to be his point...
Nobody does, seems to be his point.Unfortunately, Gibson don't build them like that anymore...and that seems to be his point...
That is what he said after all...he named Gibson but said no one... as though he meant others.
Just curious...is your pictured guitar a bolt on, or a set neck?
