Lol when the neck was placed in the pocket after sanding you could see light through the edge. Dont know if that's gonna work. Might get a crack in the clear coat
I'm wondering if the slight angle at the end of the neck set-in that you folks sanded level was placed on purpose for string location targeting. You mentioned at the end of the video that the low E string had navigated a little too far toward the fretboard center. Thoughts? Necks are tricky, thanks for posting this.
Doing a Flying V from the same kit company I'm sure. Question: with the set neck on your guitar is a pickup ring out of the question? I ask because I'd have to skip butting up the neck heel by almost a quarter inch to allow room for the supplied pup rings. It looks here like you guys are skipping the pup rings. Haven't looked at that option but whatever it takes.
It *should be* touching the back of the pickup routing. There shouldn't be any room for it to shift. Any gap there would act like a fulcrum when string tension is applied, snapping the neck forward. The neck should be sitting under the pickup when assembled.
@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 thanks for your reply. the neck is resting on the bottom of the neck pickup pocket, under the pickup (obviously), but it shifted down a bit so the scale length from the string nut to the bridge is not accurate. so instead of it being 24.75", it's like 24.70- even when i bring the saddles all the way back, it's not enough.
I tried it once on a bridge, and one day while playing, I noticed the guitar going out of tune worse and worse. The more I tried to tune, the more it went out. Had to remove it and redo with wood glue. I’ll never use epoxy on a guitar again.
I would guess I'm screwed then. I bought a 335 bass kit. After all of the refinishing work, I glued the neck into place thinking it was good to go as it was. I tapped the neck into place with a rubber hammer and pressed and held it in place with two clamps and let it sit for several days. Thinking I was done and would be playing it soon, I installed the strings to find that the strings laid flat across the fretboard. I cranked and cranked the bridge up as high as I could get it in hopes of bringing the strings up high enough. No luck. I have to adjust the truss rod next but I don't see that it can bring the strings up enough. Any advice? I'm searching videos trying to find a way to release the glued neck so I can shim it.
If heat doesn't work, you may have to cut it out. If you're willing to risk it, you can use an oscillator tool with a flat blade (link below) Otherwise a small curf saw might be your best bet. www.cpomilwaukee.com/milwaukee-2626-20-m18-18v-lithium-ion-cordless-multi-tool--tool-only-/miln2626-20.html?ref=pla-mobile&zmam=31282435&zmas=47&zmac=722&zmap=miln2626-20&ref=google-showcase&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhvf6BRCkARIsAGl1GGhXYJmFKknFOXelYuaYp_ZHgypbGzQUCvrf8wps1kUZQIAzNL1fUx0aArvnEALw_wcB
that neck joint doesn't look that great but it's still better than 99% of les pauls gibson makes. gibson tenons are in there so sloppy that they had to extend the neck heel to cover the joint. You know how you'll play a bunch of les pauls and then you come across one that sounds magic, just head and shoulders above the rest? That's the oddball that has a proper neck set with the tenon in full contact with the guitar. They should all sound like that.
Racer X! That is hilarious. I love how you buried that in the commentary. I haven't thought about those guys in years.
Great video!! Thanks for sharing!!
I have a telecaster guitar kit I built up with fender branded parts and finished it myself and it's awesome

Perfect!!.. Is there any online store where I can order for this particular guitar neck

Spank is epoxy?? 1 hr type???
great video! if the neck shifted down into the neck pickup hole while drying, how would you fix that?

Epoxy glue to glue in a set neck ?

How can a guitar player not be a Stevie Ray/ Jimi fan?

I heard a blow dryer and a thin file can get rid of the glue

@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 Thank you. I've seen those before in videos. That may do the trick.
Ronnie is the man. “not filler WOOD”
I would let Ronnie work on my guitars any day
Is that one of them Chinese guitars?
Dean You know the Chinese are going to bury in manufacturing. Hope your children can speak Mandarin :)

Clean your work bench. Can't get past it. NEXT VIDEO
He should've just bought a Gibson or Epiphone ,after all the x-tras it'll cost the same.
Maybe an Epiphone. Not a Gibson.
@@KM_1983 you are correct,I don't know what I was thinking on Gibson.Eppis are cool though.
