  1. More detailed info about what exactly the make/model this " old neck" is, please.

    Sure, it came off of an old les paul shapped guitar. It was not a Gibson, but the official name on it was Como. (I tried to reasearch the company but I never had any success execpt for the fact that it resided somewhere in Asia, and I can't read Asian writting :D)

    The headstock looks like what a typical Gibson neck would look like. It is a bolt on neck with 22 frets.

    I plan on using this neck either on a body I'm going to build, or the body the guitar came off of... but that is a whole other story (a chunk of wood is missing from the body......)

  2. hey everyone (i'm a n00b to this site hahaha) but I am currently working on restoring an old guitar neck I have. The previous owner spraypainted the back and put some useless gloss on the fretboard. So my objectives would are:

    • Sand the back down
    • Somehow de-fret the fretboard - so it can be sanded
    • put whatever nessesary finish is required onto it
    • re-fret it

    So how would I go about de-freting the fretboard? How difficult would that be (same with re-fretting it) And what kind of finishes don't screw the feeling over?
