Long story short. I'm currently working on an Ibanez jem knockoff body + Rg370 neck. Right now the neck needs to be lower and screw holes needs to align. I've decided to sand the body instead of the neck since the neck is much more expensive and firm. I have 2 screws that doesn't align and 2 that does. Original screw are filled with wood glue + toothpicks + shavings/dust from sanded neck pocket.

Questions:

1. It looks like this before the bolts were screwed into the neck. Look at the space! It got a little bit worse after too! But i'm guessing adjusting the length on the floyd rose can compensate for the intonation? While the sustain would still suffer. Is that right?

2. I ordered a set of RG neck screws (4) and 2 of them are longer and 2 are shorter. What is the screws suppose to be placed? Also a friend handed me a crapped out ironbird that needs the neck screw holes redrilled. Same question as above =)

Hello! I'm new member here. I just have a question about the ironbird

I recently have a threaded screw hole for one of the neck bolt, and the neck is separating a little. So i took off the neck.

Here is the problem. I forgot to check the length of the screws when I took off the screws until I removed the 3rd screw. Now all i know is the shorter one at the bottom pocket is on the high E string side and another long screw is on the low E string side. I wasn't sure which side the other 2 screws ( one long one short) goes...

Also, I plan on using the toothpick + wood glue method to re-drill the troubled spot.

Thank you in advance!

Alright thanks alot =)

Yeah they teach you how to make it from scartch, but i wanted to know how ot add it from a premade neck ....

See i wanted to buy this guitar, but with my skill i can never play without the aid of the fret markers....

sorry ive looked i honestly couldn't find it, and really ive tried

Mind if you post a link? please,thank you =)

I've searched almost everywhere.and never saw anything.... Ive seen guitars with fretboards that doesn't have the fret markers on it. I'd like to know how to paint them on?

No i later found out the holes are underneath the saddle like everyone else's but at the side lol.

Pretty silly of me to do that though haha.

wow sweet let me see if i have any in my local music store!

but how do i install them after buying it??

The nut is already in bad enough condition lol. Im getting some new electric strings(aww just wasted 10$ so im going to buy cheap strings...) But is there anything i could do to the nut at all before replacing it. I don't know if they sell trees here....they probably do but hard to find.

might sound stupid but i never planned on finding this baby, i was just scouting for secondhand nice guitars for sale,so i didn't want to put too much money in this thing. sounds selfish of me.....

Recently i got my hands on a Squier tele that apparantly doesn't work,ive fixed up the input jack,and it finally sounds. I couldn't get any strings so i used my ACOUSTIC GUITAR STRINGS i already have.

- Nut problem, the nut that's holding the strings up are worned out, and the G string does funny things.(watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myK_c9Q-Ulg )

- I don't know if the strings always falling out have anything to do with the fact that i installed acoustic strings in..... but the bottom 2 strings almost ALWAYS falls out of the nut after like 4-5 strums.
