moojiefulagin Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Hey everyone! I was wondering what standard procedure is for nitro spray on a glue on neck- Do you glue the neck and body together before finishing, or do you finish them separately? Thanks a bunch!

canuckguitarist Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 I haven't done this, but my understanding is that you tape off the tenon and spray the rest of the neck. Before it is glued to the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJohn Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 If it is a set neck then glue,if it's a bolt on mask off first then spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setch Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Thats not how rhoads did it. Yes it is. Look again, and you'll see he applied a few sealer coats before joining the neck and body, then glued it up, and sprayed the vast majority of his finish with the two joined.

frank falbo Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 If you were going to stain the neck darker then I guess you could do that before glueing, too. So you'd get a more uniform color and a cleaner edge. Plus the stain would be under any glue squeeze out. Otherwise a little glue line, or glue that stuck in the pores would lock out the stain. Besides that, I vote no finish until you're done. Unless you think its easier to do the headstock before the neck is attatched, I'd go for that.
