"Please beer with me here" was a intro joke. I rarely drink. I guess that I'm not being clear as to what I am trying to do here. I want to take a standard Stagg L250 Les Paul copy mahogany neck and remove the fretboard to mortise in a bridging tennon in so that I can use the neck for a set-neck Junior Double Cut build. I'll just do what I have in mind and forget about posting. Best wishes.

Yes, thanks I saw it already. I'm planning on squaring off the end of the heel of the donor neck after removing the fretboard, then using a template to mortise in a enlongated soapbar shaped tennon so that there will be enough glued surface area to accomplish a strong enough joint. I think the heel will have to be longer than that of the original Junior for integrity, but it should still have great upper fret access and maintain the same basic look without straying away too much from the original design. I only hope that there will not be too much loss of sustain/vibration transference. Should I use mahogany for the tennon or maple perhaps? Anyone else have any other tutorial links, suggestions or comments that don't involve a rubber room and a hockey helmet?! Thanks. This is a great forum. I've been reading it for several years now. I only wish that the project navigation was more user-friendly. I have troubles finding build and other specific info for projects of the month. Anyways, this is a great place to hang and learn. Best wishes from SC.

OK, now just beer with me here...I want to take a standard Stagg L250 Les Paul copy mahogany neck and remove the fretboard to mortise in a bridging tennon in so that I can use the neck for a set-neck Junior Double Cut build. Pretty lofty goal, eh? Anyone else besides myself thinks it's possible. Has anyone attempted such a feat? I only paid $25.00 for the neck so I figure that if fit hits the shan, I can still utilize the parts for a scratch-built neck. I'm trying to save alot of shaping effort and besides, I'm not very confident I can achieve a comfortable feeling neck without mucking something up. Please chime in with any suggestions or comments. Thanks...
