Palatino possibilities neck removal?

[ceilidhswinger]

Hi, has any Palatino players or Luthiers out there ever fix or had to have fixed a Palatino neck? I'm looking at the possibility of a removable neck and hoping I can construct a Clevinger type removable neck to mine using existing neck and wondering what construction is used in this kind of joint. Would I be right in thinking its a kind of dovetail joint? If anyone can supply a good picture, I would very much appreciate it, could be nice wee summer project!


Thanks Calum

This vid on YT shows an Eminence neck being removed and re-installed. You can see the neck joint about 1 minute in - [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5QkD7CUNLs[/media]

And here's a Kolstein Busetto neck being removed. Good view of neck joint about 3 mins in - [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN_5Flm5yiI[/media]

Interesting project!
