catfishadams Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I read the tutorial on adding a veneer top to a guitar and in the pictures the guitar was a bolt-on with the neck off. I want to add a flame maple veneer to an SG which has a set neck. Can I do this with the neck still on? If I have to take the neck off, how would I go about doing so?

dpm99 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 A veneer can be added without removing the neck. I'd use a technique like the one in this video: The adaptation you will make is that the board you set directly on top of the body with need a "neck pocket" cut out. If that doesn't make sense, I can elaborate. I think the problem you're likely to encounter is the carved edge of the SG body. What was your plan for that, assuming you had removed the neck?
