whitey Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) hey all i recently bought this neck on ebay (you have 5 days till it removes itself) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DRAGON-INLAYED-GUITA...1QQcmdZViewItem i have plans on making a pointy,extreme style body with it, my question is,if i sawed off the existing headstock,and replaced it with a block off wood,glued dried and shaped etc will it hold fine? if not,maybe drilling 2 small holes in both parts,and adding dowels( not sure if thats what there caled,but the little cylinders of wood,normally used in joining small bookshelfs etc) just wont to know now rather than the split second theres a headstock heading towards my left eye hehe thanks whitey Edited March 23, 2006 by whitey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Someone here showed how he reshaped a headstock some time back. Metal Matt, maybe? Search for that thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwhiteandthemaple Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 These will help. Link 1 Link 2 I really don't recommend it.. as I don't see why you want to disturb a perfectly fine head. Also, you might have a little trouble trying to clamp the wood in place, so becareful how you cut it and good luck. -IR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitey Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 yeah,i was thinking that,and i would have searched,as i alwas do...but i didnt know how to word it, and i would reshape it,but the shape i'm wanting is the jackson angled headstock,and the existing headstock doesnt cover the area of a jackson i guess i could stick with it,its more elagent.the body i'm planning to make will have a red stained flamed top,with binding etc,so it looks elagent,i may just stick with it thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 those are the the necks you shouldnt buy i think, the inlay is very thin and will most likely chip off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitey Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 wish there was a liquid to stick them back on with lol and if chipping does occur a lot,then i will possibly polyurathane it. it was a quick desicion buy,though i did think about all that i hope it doesnt though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
