svengeance Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 First if this is in the wrong place please delete Okay now the question,if I bought a Prs style Saga kit,and after the setup, I set the neck with Titebond, and filled the screw holes,would that work well?(I tried it on my old Dean Evo and it stayed on with craft glue) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Theoretically yes, but if there are big gaps in the pocket you could end up with a less than ideal joint that wont transfer vibrations as good and could possibly fail in time (thought it's unlikely).

svengeance Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks, The reason I'm asking is PRS's don't look good with neck plates and the only copy I've seen is a Stagg for like $500.So thanks for the reply,but if I c=make a good joint between the two surfaces it should work?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Another option, if you just want to lose the neck plate, is to use ferrules as I did on this guitar: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks, The reason I'm asking is PRS's don't look good with neck plates Not all PRS are set necks. The bolt on do have neck plates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hey, be grateful, my Saga kit didn't even come with a neckplate Yes, missing parts in a brand new Saga kit. Beware. I'd personally save yourself the trouble and forgo getting a Saga kit at all, unless you're really hardcore about wanting to "assemble" your own guitar. I'd put the money into better pickups and upgrade your Dean. ::EDIT:: And also, I don't even think with a bolt-on (even if Saga had supplied the proper screws) the bond/screw tightness would be adequate, because the pocket and neck thickness at the heel joint combined is less than an inch. The screws go right under where the neck pickup is mounted. Doesn't seem strong enough to me, given string tension. Even your Evo is better built. What about putting a pair of Evo's in your Evo?

svengeance Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Well the evo is gone.The Prs se's are bolt on I know,But I figured I could make the saga kinda nice for about $200 total(guitarfetish)I might just pick up the copy I saw on Ebay for $200 Thanks all!

Rick500 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 You can get a Carvin kit for just over $400, nothing further needed to make it nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
