[quote name='neepheid' post='199666' date='May 15 2008, 03:12 PM']Nut width has no bearing on this problem. What you are suggesting is that the neck heel is deeper than the neck coming off. You could raise the action on the bridge to compensate. I thought you meant that it was having difficulty locating in the existing neck pocket because it was too wide.[/quote]
yes its a very tight fit, and it doesnt go fully in. comparing the neck to the old jazz neck, the new neck is wider and deeper, hence the problem. i raised the action on the bridge, but to no real success
iv emailed a local bristol luthier, waiting for reply
