  1. OK............. Got any idea where to find an Epi set neck replacement? Thanks for your help guys. From what I could find in my search here and googling, it seems a scarf joint isn't a particular place on the neck but the cut itself. Is this right? Like cutting an angled cut instead of straight thru. Anyway, I'm gonna browse thru here and glean from the pros. Thanks again gentlemen.
  2. Hmmm...I was afraid of that. What I was planning on doing was just lop off the head right below the crack on the neck itself and glue another head on. But I'm getting into the fretboard about an inch by doing that and wasn't sure if I've got the know how to remove a fretboard, AND get it set back up right. I HAVE read thru and looked at some of the pics and work you guys have done and I think I can but I don't want to end up having to do it again cuz I screwed something up....again. This thing doesn't have alot of sentimental value, it WAS free, but I like the feel. If you guys don't think it'd be worth it, cool. Thought I'd ask. What's the worst I could do anyway, screw it up? Anyway, thanks for your time and THANK YOU to whoever deleted my original quadruple post... Peace...........Kel Oh...and thanks Tony, the refinishing, I can do. The fixing part....welll, you saw my last attempt. haha
  3. Can anyone read what I wrote?? Weird... And sorry bout the quadruple posts...not sure what I did...
  4. Hi guys. Awhile back I posted about my lame attempt at repairing my setneck Epi LP. Here's a reminder link... http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...c=23484&hl= Well, my repair isn't working out and after looking at some of the stuff you guys can do, I was wondering if one of you guys who actually know what you're doing (unlike me) would like to take this on for repair. I'll see if I can post some pics so you'll have a better idea of the mess I made... If you're interested, we can do a PM thing and talk about money. Thanks gents. Well, the pics went about as well as the last time... Here's the link from the last post... http://www.recordingproject.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=20755 pics are towards the bottom. What say you gurus of the fretboard?
  5. Well, I tried to take some good closeup pics of the head but NOW my camera took a dump... Lovely. But you're right Ryan, I'll go browsing thru here and see what you guys have been doing (find out what a scarf joint is ) and see what I can do. If you guys don't mind, I'd like to keep you in the loop so I don't pull another bonehead like the last repair... Peace gents...
  6. Hey, I found this link and it seemed to fit the bill.... http://guitar.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite...23tuningproblem Click where it says "string winding" in the first paragraph. Hope it helps.......
  7. OK...went thru the 4 pages of that Les Paul repair that Southpa posted, and man...if you guys do work like that, I'll send you ALL my guitars for workovers! Also learned quite a few things that I screwed up on my repair. I did fix my kids guitar with the same Gorilla Glue, but that was an easier fix and it was just the top of the head snapped. That one actually looks pretty good.
  8. uhmmm...yeah. Pretty much just like that. It looks like it was a straight cut. You don't have to do an angle cut then I take it?...oh so much to learn...
  9. Sure, I'll pay. It was free but I like the feel and sound of it so yeah, up to a point, I think it'd be worth it. But a question, I don't know if this is the norm, but what about finding an old guitar with a similar neck and doing an angled cut, at the same place on both and glueing the new head onto it. I guess that'd bring me back here to pick your brains a few more times but... Like I said, I'm no woodworker. I do OK at rough stuff but makin it purdy with finish work is a bit over my head. At least for now. I'm finding this guitar fixin is kinda fun. uh-oh...
  10. Thanks gentlemen... I've got these pics of the fix but I'll have to click off a couple close-ups of the neck now. I'm a little embarrased to put these up after checking out some of your guys pics in here... http://www.recordingproject.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=20755 I tried a "photobucket" thing for the pics but it said something about "dynamic pages" (not sure what that means) so I posted the link to this recording site I go to. If you scroll down, the pics I have so far are there. Thanks, I'm a little compooter illiterate...heh heh I never thought about making my own neck cuz I really don't have diddly for tools. Or knowledge. The sanding was done by hand or by a round sanding pad that I rigged up to my drill. Mickguard, How's the beloved??? Oh, and I'm in NE Nevada. Small town, no music stores. I'll get some close-ups to see what you guys think. I'm at work so I'll tune in thru the day if I've left out some info you might need. Many thanks gents. Kel
  11. Thanks for your time man... The neck itself was broke right below the head AND half of the headstock was broken off and missing. So...since I'm green at this stuff, I used Goriila Glue on the neck break and cut and shaped a piece of oak to make the other half of the head. I drilled a hole for a pilot pin (in the chunk of wood) to help the Gorilla Glue. I think I screwed it up. I can feel a crack at the neck break that wasn't there before. Yeah, it was a free guitar but this thing sounds sweet. I just don't think it'll hold. The repair was only about 2 months ago. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time. Kel
  12. Hi guys, A tech at Warmoth said this was the place so.............. What I've got is an older Epiphone LP that was given to me due to the broken neck. It's a set neck and I've heard that to change it, you heat it up and then crack it over your knee.....is this right? Also, I've found a bunch of replacement necks for Strats and Tele's, but I'm having a real hard time trying to find an Les Paul type neck. I've taken a look thru your site and can't find anything. Did I just miss it? Do you Guitar Guru's have any thought? Much thanks.............. Peace...Kel
