DIY neck repair

[ambient]

I've generally shied away from DIY luthiery. I'm quite pleased with this repair job though.

Well, that is fine, its not like anyone has any need to be playing up there!

It doesn't move about either.

Let's hope that a certain Mr Phillips isn't reading this thread.

That is simply fabulous

As long as it’s done the job , well done 👍

Hmmmm,  maybe a little bit of sculpturing the screw heads with a heavy duty fret file would provide that certain something ?!

I very much dislike those cheap bolts with the code numbers in raised letters on the head. Would have been a first class job with better quality fasteners.

Everyone's a critic.

It really does badger me. Any chance to see the the whole guitar?🙏

I think it needs one more bolt just to be sure…

My dad’s hidden the hammer.

Just use nature's own hammer, a Telecaster.

When a DIY luthier takes the term 'bolt neck' a bit too literally.

Didn't Frankenstien design the bolt-on neck?...

Nah.. That was a bolt "through" the neck 😁

It'll look good once you're finished with the filler and a coat of paint.

Chewing gum goes quite hard after a few months....

A bit of neck butchery didn't do Jaco any harm.

How's it go?

 

1) Always use the correct tool for the job. 

 

2) The correct tool for the job is ALWAYS a hammer.

 

3) ANY tool can be used as a hammer.
