    always the way - try for an easy build - have to modify...

    You could always take a fine bit off each... And find a way to test for straightness as you go

    An easy build....I wonder what that's like??

    If you've access to one, pop a laser level across both body and neck as you sand and test? Or if you need to go lower tech, taut string line across the assembly as a centerline and possibly two aligned either side to the edges of the neck for you to gauge if you are going wonky one way or t'other?

    I got a Pitbull neck for a 'no name' strat copy body and it required some judicious sanding to fit.
    Though I hate it when people say 'I can do it, therefore anybody can'...well maybe this numpty just struck lucky.
    As I'd already asked the question about buying a body without a neck it seemed the resounding response was that the guitar necks are expendable. Necks are readily available from the Pitbull shop but not bodies.
    If you are going to screw it up, the neck would be the cheaper option it seems.


    cheers, Mark.
