krazyderek Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 I'm thinking about trying out short set neck tennon's or "bolt in" necks, but i can't decide weather to use the traditional 3" length pocket that most bolt on's are, or play it safe and go with a 3½" length cause the neck thins down to 17/32's under the neck pickup. Obviously the long screw would move towards the neck if the pocket were made longer. But i really want to go with 3" cause it gives me just that much more room for playing the upper frets, what do u guys think? Also does 1" seem like a good depth for the neck pocket for this type of heel? NOTE this picture isn't perfectly to scale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 What so like PRS bolt ons, that should work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryeisnotcool2 Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Why use the bolts? just glue it in, thats all the farther in the tenons are on sg's and prs's. then you wouldnt have to worry about bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted September 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 well i might glue or bolt.... i'd like to stay with bolt for right now so i could make another neck for the guitar down the road.... but.... 1"x3" that's good enough for the pocket u guys think?

Guitarfrenzy Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 We'll if you ever have to replace the neck you'll be glad you made a bolt-in... From what I've read they are the best type besides the 3/4 deep neck tenon. PRS uses the bolt-in method.. Fender uses bolt-on.. Gibson uses set neck... and Jaros uses 3/4" deep neck tenon..... Jackson uses neck through if i remember right.. actually... i guess all of them work good.. but only the bolt-in and bolt-on would be quick to change out... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
