dan62798 Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 wondering if anyone out there knows of any set neck removal tutorials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Never done it, but from what I've read it involves removing one of the inlays that sit directly on top of the neck joint, drilling a small hole down thru the neck into the joint, then injecting (via a large syringe) near boiling water. I think Stew-Mac sells the syringes to do it. I think this would only work on neck joints that used aliphatic glue (Titebond). I can't see this working if they used epoxy or Urethane glue... But I think most everyone uses Titebond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 is that meant so that u can reuse the neck? cause wouldn't all that water take a while to dry out after? I kinda got the impression you'd have to destroy the neck and build a new one to replace it (ie: just rout thru the neck and make a new neck pocket) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 The closest I can come up with for a quicky is (A big restoration) and as far as other tools go have a look at this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drak Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 ...and as he noted, doesn't say much for Gibson's quality control these days either. It did look kind of factory-sloppy. He used a great color tho, I love wine red. The very first LPC I ever bought was an '82 LPC in wine red w/ gold hardware. sigh...the ones that got away...lost that one to the pawn shop in me youth...

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Bear in mind, some set necks also have screws in the pocket. I steam off the fretboard, then steam off the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
