The new neck arrived the other day, just under a week to get to Blighty or Perfidious Albion as some
would have it.
The neck is a very good example, slight back bow tweaked out with the truss rod so that the frets can be leveled.
I am really pleased with the one they sent.
The bottom of the heel tenon is slightly curved so will need to be sanded flat.
Even better is the fit in the neck pocket, it is perfect !
Tight but not tight enough to stop Mr Glue doing his job.
This time I would like to have a go at making the neck/body join one smooth join rather than
a stepped join, the pics explain what I am trying to say.
Leveled the frets today and have a decent fret dressing file on it's way from Crimson.
My plan is to first sort the frets then check the neck/bridge geometry and sand the tenon tongue.
Glue it in place first and then finish the guitar lacquer/polish to get a pro type neck join.
Will sand the body a bit more then seal with some sanding sealer to seal the stained
finish before lacquering.
Well, that's the plan haha....
