  1. I talked to the tech people at stewmac. They suggested that I steam the neck to remove it and start the set again from scratch. Seems like the best idea to me... I just have to figure out how to rig up a steam system!
  2. Here's the picture... let me know what you guys think! Thanks! Here's the picture
  3. I am flipping out a little. So I am at the last few steps of completing this Stewmac 000 kit (mahogany) and yesterday I just glued in the dovetail neck. I did all the measurements and adjustments and the neck seemed to be in all the right places. The only problem was that when I set the neck in the dovetail joint and leaned it back so that the heel was making full contact with the body, the fretboard extension was raised up over the top by about 1/8". I figured that this was because it bowed when I fretted it. If I leaned it the other way and had the fretboard touching the top, the heel was raised up way too far to make sense... so I concluded it was just bowed and could be fixed by clamping the fretboard down when I glued the neck in. I glued it all up and everything looks so nice... only one problem... a big problem. The fretboard extension glued down nice and flat to the top and if I put a straightedge on the frets from 12 down, it will just graze the top of the bridge, just like it's supposed to. From the 11th fret upwards though is a different story! The neck bends back from the 12th fret creating a slight inverted V shape... you know what I mean? It's like it's angled too far back... Here... I'm gonna put in a picture for ya: Please help me figure out how to fix this... the guitar was coming along so nicely.. I was so proud of myself for taking my time and not rushing! Plus it was like $425! Picture will be coming soon... gotta figure out how to do it!
