nice fix Frankie, so was the headstock thickness too thin hence you glued on the extra pieces ?
Always lesson learned mate, been there done that ! Sure you can bulk up the truss rod so it doesn't rattle around when you are headbanging to some cool chords !

Yep, tried to thin it with a long rip cut down the length of the headstock and cocked it up. Reduced the whole thing to the thinnest measurement and made up another laminate patch to line up with the existing laminate lines. Quite happy with that bit actually, it worked really well. I'll set up a jig on the weekend and thin it properly in 1/32" incremental passes.Originally Posted by wokkaboy
I've fixed the TR issue with some heatshrink, now I just have to decide whether to use my dud fretboard or set up the fretting jig and do a spot on one.
Like I've said repeatedly, it's an exercise in the exercise and what I'm learning is all good. And if the neck works okay, it may end up being an Addition to the FrankenWashie that is severely Frankenstein-ish!
