iwantnewpickups Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 is it possible to convert a bolt-on guitar to a set-neck? will this change the tone much? add sustain? Quote
Devon Headen Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 Unless you did some major work to give more area to have the neck attatch to, even if you could get it set, I don't see where it would change the tone much if you already have a tight bolt on joint. Quote
MikeB Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 its possible yes, however you would need a STRONG glue to compensate for the smaller area, and i would shim the neck till it was really tightly fitted. Cascamite is a strong glue, and Araldite also. cyas mike Quote
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted November 24, 2003 Report Posted November 24, 2003 I did it on an Encore LP style. The paint must be totally off the neck & out of the pocket. Quote
westhemann Posted November 24, 2003 Report Posted November 24, 2003 i wouldn't...you really should have more surface area than that.but i have done it on a loose neck pocket before. Quote
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted November 25, 2003 Report Posted November 25, 2003 yeah, mine was pretty tight Quote
