Ok ... so my son's pal James bought an LPA-1F on the 16th of September and, after staining it red cedar some time back (after sanding the hell out of it) I am now ready to glue the neck.
I wanted to fit the machineheads and bridge first and make sure the neck is straight with a couple of light strings under a little tension first .. .am I on the right track here?
Previously I build a Strat kit (Artist) ... which was so easy with a bolt-on neck ... this whole glue thing has me worried.
Can I trust the neck is spot on and just go ahead and glue and clamp it?
My experience says no ...
Would love some advice before I execute ... and invariably pay the price.
Thanks in advance ...
Darren
