Bolt On In A Les Paul Replica

[led_guitar]

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of building a les paul style guitar with a bolt on neck that I bought from guitarpartsusa.

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!

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.
