So...anyone know how to build a guitar, lol. Actually, I would like to learn some things - but don't won't to mess up this wood with a first timer try. Any advice regarding neck work would be particularly helpful - I'll be looking to buy and then have someone install. son_of_magni Intermediate Member Username: son_of_magni Post Number: 147 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Monday, December 20, 2004 - 8:29 pm:    (Message edited by son_of_magni on December 20, 2004) staemius Junior Username: staemius Post Number: 13 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Monday, December 20, 2004 - 8:44 pm:    Hmmm, looks better with magnifier, hehe. lbpesq Intermediate Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 199 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Monday, December 20, 2004 - 9:28 pm:    James: So you're "tarheelbred"? You got a very interesting body - a very cool DIY. One thing I noticed on the e-bay pictures that seemed a little unusual was the two holes in the neck pocket. Most bolt-ons use 3 or 4 screws. Having experience with both Fender 4 and 3 bolt necks, I would strongly recommend using 4 bolts. My friend's 3 bolt neck strat seems to move a hair if you really dig in. Be sure to post some pix when you complete it.

There's an 'Up/down' two screw option (to adjust the neck) - but you seldom see it, and I reckon for good reason - hope it will support a 4 screw.
