Guitaraholica2004 Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 I read the site's "Repairing A Cracked Neck" tutorial, and It was somewhat helpful. However, on my Epiphone Flying V, the neck is had broken off right at where the neck connects to the body, and there is no crack at the headstock. This poses a problem for Neck-Thru's, because unlike Bolt-Ons, where you can EASILY find a replacement neck and just attach it to the body, such is not the case with Neck-Thru, because the neck is merged with the body, and my Flying V is no exception. The headstock on mine is slanted at a 13 degree angle, too. Will the "Repairing a Cracked neck" tutorial work in my case, and are there any special clamps I need to use? By the way, I checked my Fretboard, and it doesn't need to be replaced. It's still intact, and it did not crack along with the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAI6 Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Pics of the crack (THE crack, not YOUR crack!) would be helpful to make a good judgement.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 I'm pretty sure it will still work in this case, of course your going to need to get a longer bar clamp so it's under pressure. Just don't forget to pad both ends and don't overdue the pressure thing causing it to bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 just a thought but after you glue it together you will already have the fretboard off so why not take some short pieces of carbon fibre rods and install them bridging the former break.as extra support you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
