Gr-1sf

Hello Swinging Beef, thanks for that actually you and I have lots in common, we both perform Rockabilly and working on my new Rockabilly album too.
One question about gluing the next on those kits (GR-1sf).
Would it be good idea to hold the next by screws? I was told that if we use thick gauge strings and the neck is not properly glued can force it to come out or off set the neck, now that sounds scary, and even if it doesn't for peace on mind, would this be possible and good idea?
Thanks SB..

looks great Caeser, you are doing a nice job

Here are some GR-1SF wiring options.

Good glue will hold it just fine. I would avoid the screws.

The glue I used on my guitar neck, I also use on another instrument I play.
I have faith the guitar neck will never be put under this much stress, so I trust this glue.

classic pics Beef balancing on the double bass,looks very cool.
Caeser use titebond glue to glue the neck should be fine. Just give it at least 24 hours to dry before putting any string tension on

Hey SB, love the pics, and love that style too, thanks for the info there, so the glue it is only, I'll use the one I've got from Adam.
Thanks wokkaboy, glad to hear is going ok so far, so now gonna try the second final coat to the neck.

Thanks for that, will have a read and work it through tonight while the neck dries up..

In general, thanks to all for the info here..

Hello everyone, ok so the neck is kinda ready, I've bath it today and it's looking more to I wanted, only it's a bit sticky but I was told that will go away as I keep bathing it (Dingotone paste) and I'll add some picks to what it looks like Attachment 4629 Attachment 4630.
Now I started the sides and this is what it looks like,Attachment 4631 Attachment 4632
Now while it's drying I've started with the wiring (slowly of course) and maybe time to put the strings adjusters and then the neck deco (got a personalized one), further bathing the neck..
Question: Should I put the neck deco now before the strings adjusters and bathing?
Can anyone spot something I'm not doing wright (Gatto clean the edges after I put the neck).. Thanks in advance and glad to show this project process...

I'm building the ESB kit myself right now and also a first timer.

Hope you have as much fun building yours as I am with mine.
