Scott Rosenberger Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 You need to put the neck into the neck pocket and put a Low & High E string on. Check to see that the strings aren't running off the neck and then clamp the neck to hold it in position. Then turn the guitar over and predrill the holes for the neck screws. Make sure you measure the depth first so you don't drill through the neck. (I use Tape to mark the stopping point). Once you have the holes drilled, remove the clamp, clean up the back of the neck where the holes are drilled to be sure the neck will sit flat in the neck pocket. Mount the neck back in the guitar, String it up and Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
