Most necks are fitted with a dovetail join or bolted on. There's normally glue been the fret board and the top of the acoustic body. Some high end designs feature a floating fret board, but you don't see it very often.Quote:

As I dont have any real tools I use what I can will follow up with my techniques.. Inspired by that great SBS doco Bush Mechanics.Quote:
