canuckguitarist Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Anybody know which one of these neck joints are used on Gibson Flying Vs? Thanks, Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 take your pick,but i would use the bottom left one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 i would go with, and i think it is, the top right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 it isn't the top right,because the fretboard on a v extends onto the body,unlike the sg on the top right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 well there are a couple different takes on the V, guess i was thinking about another one, actually looking at it again you're right there wes, but i'd still go with the top right (although maybe not authentic) it would make for easier upper fret access, why not avoid the whole issue and just make a neck thru??

MikeB Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 im with derek, neck through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 i am going to build a 7 string set neck v soon...the one on the lower left is almost like what i will use.as far as neck thru that would be cool but with a v ither way works well because the heel is left square.the reason i put the frets over the body on a v is because it brings the headstock closer in to your body for easier playability and it makes it hang better,without any heavy headstock issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 The Gibson V's and explorers have the neck tenon like the picture on the top left. But I would build it like the pic on the top right, and if you're going to use a pickguard you will hide the glue lines too, so I think that would be the best sollution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 wes, keep us updated with your 7 string v i wanna see how this goes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckguitarist Posted January 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 I think I'm going to do the one on the top left, minus the little pickup lip. Hides errors better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
