led_guitar Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hey guys, I'm in the process of building a les paul style guitar with a bolt on neck that I bought from guitarpartsusa. http://www.guitarpartsusa.com/ccp51/media/...ail/nklp200.jpg I've never actually bolted on a neck before, but I've snooped around and I know that I should use ferrules and countersink the screws for the best resonance and stability. But how many screws would be proper? I guess I'm asking for any type of suggestions. Pictures will be up soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGW Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 The Les Paul bolt-on replicas typically use a neckplate with 4-screws. However, you could use ferruls if you like and create a 5 or 6 bolt pattern. Ferruls work great for contoured heels where you can't use a standard plate.
