monkyboy777 Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 You might oughta consider just buying the wood and a truss rod then use the tuners and fingerboard of your current neck. Seems to me it would be easier to do that than possibly trashing a good squire neck; but then again, it is your stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DividedByJames Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 eh...theoretically you could do it but it would almost be easier to build a neck. The problem would be getting the scarf joint created behind the fingerboard area. Plus now you'd have to buy lefty tuners cuz the post must pull towards the gear--not away from. I'd sell the squire neck and buy a paddlehead aftermarket neck, and make your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 need new tuners, take off the fingerboard, cut a scarf joint and toss that headstock aside, get a good sized blank, glue it on there, aditional routing may be needed to extend the truss rod chanel, shape, drill, reattach fingerboard, assemble... zippidy zappidy zamm blam you're done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazyderek Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 lol don't mind my odd posts last night... i was overtired.. you can still do it, (minus the corny magic) but a new neck from sratch would be more practical, cause then if you don't like it you can always go back to your old neck.

DannoG Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 Getting a scarf joint aligned in the gluing process takes a fairly high degreet of care and precision. Doing it on parts that have already been shaped would be very difficult since you have few flat surfaces to clamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
