metgt4 Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 First of all, I'd like to say hi . I'm new here, and look forward to becoming a contributing member of the forum. Now for my question... I'm building my first neck through guitar, and I've finished the neck. I'm getting the wings soon, and have absolutely no idea how to go about attatching them to the neck. I know you use wood glue, but is there any method(s) you can use to get it glued on as tightly and accurately as possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxination Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 admittedly, i haven't built a neck through yet, however, i would think attaching the wings would be similar to glueing a body up. just make sure the edges are cut clean and true then glue with your favorite wood glue (titebond, for example) and clamp. i have seen some builders who save the pieces they cut off when bandsawing out the body shape to use as clamping cauls. again, i haven't built a neck through so take my advice with a grain of salt.

TGwaH Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Short answer? An adhesieve and lots of clamps. For a longer answer, I recommend you read this page. It outlines the building of a semi-hollow body neckthrough. It should be a great help to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 cut the majority of th wings' final shap out before your attach them, it will be much harder to shape the body when its attached to the neck, and remember, you can NEVER have too many clamps.

j. pierce Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I used wooden pins when attaching the wings on a neck-through, because I wasn't confident that the pieces wouldn't slide. Probably wasn't entirely necessary, but the extra assurance was helpful. I used four big pipe clamps (alternating from each side of the body to keep the joint from flexing up or down) and wood glue. Make sure your surfaces to be joined are flush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Mick, that's probably all part of Bill O'Reilly's boycot on France Anyhow, I know this isn't the most ideal, but I found this version of the page on the Internet Archive, but it is lacking pictures. Here On an unrelated note, if you're looking for a webpage that doesn't exist or has changed since the last time you were there vist the Internet Archive, their goal is to document and back up the entire internet.
