ficecone Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 How can you determine if a Prospect has the fixed or floating block? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 By original design, always floating. There can be cases when they aren’t, but pull out a pickup and take a look under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJTopes Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Look at the bottom of the block, you should see about a 1/4 inch space between the block and the back of the guitar. Prospects are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big bob Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 You can also get full hollow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be cases when they aren’t, but pull out a pickup and take a look under the hood. You can probably see the space just by looking through the f-hole. I have one of each (solid, floating and full hollow). Solids sound pretty similar to a 335, but the floating and full hollow definitely sound different. I would suggest going with a floating or full hollow (but those are hard to find). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
