And I'm sure our buddy Gar knows this too

The paintwork is an immaculate reproduction, you can't deny that one on him. Bbut the assembly and playability itself looks to an illiterate interpretation: he needs to start with a better neck and body next time.

Mr. Havenot chimes in again.....Ahahahahaaaaa.....

You can't deny the truth. Kiss the ring, troll!

But nothing!
The body and neck are quality, anyone with an inkling for guitars can plainly see, Peabrain.
As for playability, it plays and sounds sweet! Probably almost as good as your plywood/bolt on Charvette!

I glue all my bolton necks into the slot.

I glue all my bolton necks into the slot.

Are they your Michael Bolton necks?

[indeedido]

By "slot" do you mean neck pocket? I doubt just glueing a neck into a neck pocket is going to equate into transferance of string vibration or tone. As we all know, when Gibson glues a neck on a les paul, it does so with a tenon joint. That tenon joint gives a tight fit. Much tighter than your glueing of a bolt on. Your idea equals failure.

Natch...

No, I use Elmer's white glue. If I wanna change a neck, a little sideways bap with the edge of my fist will break the bond easy after the screws come out. And once it sets, no side-side wiggle ever.

Try it with your next build. I make a small smiley face bead of glue not very thick in between the neck bolts before I drive the screws in squishing the neck together with the body. If I take it apart, I dont' peel the old glue, just add a little more. If I change the neck, I do peel the glue out with a safety razor or chisel.

It helps if you change lots of necks on a favorite body.

You can make smiley faces with Elmer's Glue but can you built one of these muthafuckers?

Had the original in my hands years ago.

I was told the reason for the quarter, I'm probably the only one here who knows.

Lie!

The quarter was added to compensate for his new (at the time) Floyd Rose inability to rest completely flat against the body. It was flipped under the Floyd base to keep it resting level .
