odlaw Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) Hi, I purchased this kit on ebay and there are no instructions for it. I am a complete beginner and bought the kit so I could practice doing inlay work on an unfinished guitar. I download some instructions from stew mac for one of their kits but it the neck attachment is different. I really need to know how to fasten the neck to the body and what type of glue I should use. There is also two pieces of wood as pictured in the kit that I have no clue as to what they are for. There is binding also but is it for the neck or the guitar. Is the trussrod adjustable some how?

odlaw Posted May 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Where do I glue it and do those two pices of wood belong to the neck assembly?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tirapop Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 When you dry fit the neck to the body, is there any gap between the neck and the body, or between the neck extension and the tail block, inside the body? I would guess that you use those two block on the sides of the neck extension, where it meets the tail block, to make up for any gap. If the width of the tail block is at least as wide as the combined widths of the neck extension and those two blocks, then that seems like a possiblity. Is the body plywood? Who makes this kit?

odlaw Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 The kit has no name. The neck extension is about a 16/th of an inch from touching the inside tail block. The two trapezoid pieces are about an 1/8 too thick from going between the back body and the neck stick. I apologize for the photo but it is only 95k. It is smaller than other photos posted as images on this site. I originally used image ready to reduce the resolution too keep the file size small so as not to slow up bandwith but the pic still comes out large looking. I will make my photos smaller if I post anymore images. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzocchi705 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Change the actual image size, not the file size. Use Photoshop or somthing simelar to get best results (dont use MS Paint, it make images realy grainy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tirapop Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 The neck extension is about a 16/th of an inch from touching the inside tail block. The two trapezoid pieces are about an 1/8 too thick from going between the back body and the neck stick. That there's a gap between the neck extension and tail block reinforces my feeling those trapezoidal blocks are part of the neck/tail-block joint. I wasn't thinking about putting those blocks between the neck and the back. Gluing those blocks between the tail block and the back, you can form a slot to slide the neck extension into and glue to.
