building a neck.... the right way
urbansmurf replied to urbansmurf's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
havent got much done on the neck lately, been super busy and just havent had the time decided to make this guitar a baritone though -
thats what ive been saying
-
ok, who would have titebond? home depot?
-
ah, thanks
-
gotchya forgive my stupidity, im not exactly.... sober
-
i dont get the strat one
-
well, i figured that they called it tune-o-matic for a reason not the same as a strat
-
no one?
-
any answers for the tune o matic question?
-
this isnt really relative, but why are tune-o-matics called that? whats so special about them?
-
im only in a rush to get it here so i can play it friday, i wouldnt put the floyd in till after friday idk what makes it vintage, guy said it was
-
i have a friend with a floyd floating bridge that hes offered to give to me, how hard would it be to replace this trem bridge with it?
-
hmm, so id have to get it in wed. to use it friday damn
-
do you think after 24 hours it would be safe to string it, or should i wait some extra time just to be safe
-
aye, but aparently glue melts easily
-
then what's the point of the bolts? glue for extra sustain, bolts for better grip all in theory though
-
also, when im sanding the glue off the neck and body, is there any particular grit i should prep the neck/body to? real smooth, real coarse?
-
ok, thanks how long does it take for titebond to fully set up?
-
settle down wes, geez ok, gorilla glue it is thanks all
-
yes there is a downside.set necks have a thinner back to the neck pocket.it would not be stable,you need to glue it what are you talking about? set necks are much deeper than bolt ons, and notched too. stability wouldnt be the issue, i meant in terms of sustain, or general sound quality. maybe i glue AND bolt
-
would there be any downsides to bolting it on? if ythe guy ships it today, it -might- be in by friday. im playing in a show friday and would like to use it then, but glue would take to long to dry
-
also, even if its not a gibson, its still a vintage explorer for 150$, including shippin. ill take it the seller owns a pawn shop, and doesnt know anything about guitar repair. the previous owner was a very serious player and may have put the trem bridge in himself. who knows, i like trem bridges better anyways
-
idk, it says gibson on the headstock, but i dont care either way i love explorers, gibson or otherwise
-
see, clean cut
-
it was a perfectly clean break. no wood was broken, chipped or otherwise damaged. the glue just didnt hold up. so i can use gorilla glue? theres no :"super sustain/holding set neck guitar" glue?
