Mahelcaya Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Can someone tell how can I angle the neck slightly forward, if I put a piece of wood veneer, and sand it on one end, to create the angled neck pocket, will that work, I have some 1.5 mm veneer Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 You can either do that or just trim and fold a piece of business card and put it in the back of the pocket on a bolt on guitar. It's called a neck shim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahelcaya Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Thanks Brian, I have cut the venner to shape, and will glue it on the neck , I have tried the card method, but i get a little gap , i'd rather see that sheet of mohogany :-) BTW: if I want to refill some graphite nut string slots, will superglue last a while, with the friction on the strings ?

Brian Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 I don't know if I would trust it to hold to the graphite, thats a pretty slippery surface to hold on to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahelcaya Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Yeah that was I was afraid of, anyway I am giving it a try , I put the superglue 2 days ago, and this morning I resaw the slots, up to tonight its working....:-) let's see how long it will last. Lessen I have learned: Take it easy with those thin fret saws on the nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
