I'm over in the sunny UK (actually been raining for 2 days). I've submitted all my CAD drawings to the laser cutter and we're just waiting for him to get back to us. Unfortunately the bloke that I'm working with is rushing around, trying to get some guitars done for a show in Bath. It means that he hasn't built my neck yet . This reso project and redoing a Patrick Eggle electric are kind of taking all my project time at the minute. The Eggle was turning into a resto rather than a quick buff. The masking tape had been sprayed over and left on the fretboard since about 1997. Wasn't easy to get off. Everything else has been put on the back burner until I actually learn how to play the bloody things. Had my first lesson last night to try and get some of the basics down.

Question:

How do you attach a neck onto a solid body? (ukulele ofcourse)

Also, is it better to make the neck of one solid piece of wood than gluing the head angle and the part that attaches to the body?
