One of the things I quickly learned was that tightly aligning each of the pieces next to each other gives them rigidity and stability that is not possible when each is independent. Note too that with the NK headless guitar you will need to trim the center screws because they will otherwise penetrate the truss rod tunnel. This is another reason to line up the pieces for shared rigidity because the center pieces will have less screw depth than the others. One bonus was that only one of the four dowel holes was showing after installation. Does this solution (in combination with your headless brigde) hold tuning well? Like REALLY well?

Fusion Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Would love to hear about your final endeavors! I finished my mod with different neckpiece, different bridge, different pickups etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Zango Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 How much did the guitar cost you after all was said and done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonk931 Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I also modded an NK. New 50's style wiring, Thornbucker pickups, Paint, and turquoise inlay. About to put a Hipshot bridge in it next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
