My musical things

I have recieved the neck ...

It's a lovely piece of soft flame maple , skunk striped , 22 fret (LFO) ..

I think it's probably too good to go with that body , might have to re-think.

[GAR]

NO! Just throw it on.. I got necks I've had on 3 different bodies.

You won't harm the neck if you predrill correctly.

Been there...

Outstanding.......happy new years to you to, ya cunt

[Hardrock69]

LMFAO!

Well, could be worse...I suppose. Tom Jones is a pretty decent singer. Would you rather have Bananarama?

[Reverberator]

Bananarama were quite fuckable back in the day...

There were all sorts on Jools Holland last night , Tom was on with the Stereophonics so not all bad.

The Neck.













So there it is £60 , cheap because it has a small ding at the 9th fret side dot marker.

Now do I use it with that sunburst body? ... or do I use it with this? ....



This is a squire body from a guitar I used to own and have now found myself back in possesion of , it's 40mm thick as opposed to 45mm on the sunburst and the new neck is as tight as a nuns cunt in the pocket.On the sunburst one it's a little sloppy like a 70 year old prostitutes arsehole.

So , decisions , decisions.....

[Diamondjimi]

Go with the Squire. A tight fit is crucial. OR you can follow GARfail's school of thought and simply glue it in the sunburst with carpenters glue and hope for the best...

[Hardrock69]

LOL @ Reverb's description of the neck fit.

[GAR]

Have to think about this - if you wait, I'll do a pictorial of how to drill and mount a neck.

[Diamondjimi]

Setting ones self up,yet again, for imminent failure...

Riiiight. Never gonna happen!

[GAR]

I should say more like "how I drill and mount a neck."

We've talked about it before: the two back screws angle into the hole, pulling the neck into the pocket. The outer two screws go straight down into neck, gripping it flat.

[Nitro Express]

Hmmmm. I've taken lot's of guitars apart and all four, three, and sometimes five screws are drilled and seated straight. I saw one angled neck screw once and that was on an Epiphone with a bolt on neck. Kwan must have had too much rice wine that day.

Next installment....

I've just finished installing a set of vintage style klusons....





I'm quite pleased with the result.

Now I really can't decide what to do with the body choice....I don't really want to have another shiny axe but I also don't want to fuck up the finish on the green one....but as I've said the neck fits better on it.





Gotta have a good long think about this.
