carolyn Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hi! My boyfriend bought an old Epiphone acoustic.....12 string. Mostly for a project. I'm watching him try various methods to loosen and remove the neck....don't know if it's hide glue or white glue. It's a joy for me to watch him....but it would also be cool if I just asked you guys for suggestions ant tips! I read a few articles from some other luthiers...looks like heat lamp is the only way...or steam. What do you think? many thanks! carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
