Hi Ryan, a fantastically informative video. Your site is likewise very detailed. I am presuming you do not use any glue in the joint, and I would be interested to know how you avoid any buzzing or rattling where the fretboard extension is not fully in contact with the guitar top? Many thanks
Very interesting. Similar to Gore /Gilet (which you're obviously familiar with) but using the more common threaded inserts instead of a tapped steel bar in a mortise, lacking the vertical bolt, and with the interesting addition of the low adjusting bolt. Thank you for sharing.
That's a good idea. This video explains more of how the system works, but I should do another video of how I actually make it. Thanks for the suggestion. Its on the list of video ideas now.
Kind of like Taylors nt neck joint except the use precisely cut shims to take up the gap upon adjustment leaving no gaps at the point of heal to body or fretboard to top contact great idea though love it on my Taylor after 8 years it needed to be reset.
it's similar in the sense that you turn a hex screw to make the adjustment. But the similarities end there. This system adjusts the entire angle of the neck, not just the amount of relief like the truss rod does. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
Andrew thanks for the comment. Check out this page on my website. There is a diagram of the joint showing the bolts and a more detailed description of how it all works. Any more questions, just ask. www.mazzoccoguitars.com/blank
Dovetail is a great joint. It's not without it's flaws. And to say it't the best in tone is hard to quantify. Some of the best sounding guitars in the world have a dovetail, but I've also played many that sound like trash. It's how the whole guitar is put together, not just the how the neck connects to the body. Thanks for watching!
I incorporated a similar design to my last 2 guitars a few years ago
Thumbs-up

I have a '56 National guitar with a factory bolt-on adjustible neck. works great!
very cool!
Nice shop Ryan. See you this spring.
Thanks man. I can't wait to be able to see you in person again!

Interesting idea, but installing these bolts is very critical and precise, pl upload a vedio on this topic, thanks

Holy crap, it's the same design as the truss rod. That's genius.

It would be nice to see how the adjusting bolt is installed and operates.

Clever.
I think dove tail neck join with glue join is perfect. Dove tail provides most stable on tone for long time.

Cool. With a modified case you got an airplane ready travel guitar.
