razzark Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I have made several guitars (all bolt on) and I just got a good deal on a neck made for neck thru style guitars and was wondering if someone could tell me how to attach the body to it.

truerussian558 Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 you take to pieces of the wood you want to use for the body and atach them on the sides as "wings" and cut it after you glue (hard unless you use a saw where you move the saw i.e. jigsaw opr a frikkin huge bandsaw). or with carefull planing you can cut the wings and then glue them one,but make sure you leave a bit of flat edge on the sides so you can atach the clamps to it other then that you cant just atach a body to it, without serious modification to the neck or the body (saws will come out) btw welcome to the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=4599 go there and read...and i would at least cut the cutaways on the wings before glueing if you are putting it on an existing body,simply trace the section on that you need to cut out,and cut and glue,rerout the pickup and bridge cavities,and refinish i hope my post makes more sense than the last one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
