<p><span>Years ago (circa 2002) I bought a guitar body and neck from a fellow in Iowa who said they were from a defunct factory ( can remember the name.) The attached images show the parts.

<p><span>Years ago (circa 2002) I bought a guitar body and neck from a fellow in Iowa who said they were from a defunct factory ( can remember the name.) The attached images show the parts. I shelved the project and never got around to messing with it; I prefer building from scratch. Recently a friend showed interest in completing this project. When I looked at the parts, however, I am concerned about the neck joint; the small tenon seems inadequate to me. I wonder if anyone has run into this type of construction? Also, inspecting the inside with a mirror reveals a rather small block to receive the neck. Before investing much of his time, I want to make sure its not a doomed venture. If nothing else we could pull the back off and install a proper head block and build up the neck tenon. Could even build up the heel. Your thought are appreciated. -- Jack</span></p> Epiphone Dot headstock repairtag:fretsnet.ning.com,2010-09-23:2177249:Topic:408772010-09-23T23:30:46.145ZWayne Tapiahttp://fretsnet.ning.com/profile/WayneTapia
I've got an Epiphone Dot that has had it's headstock broken by the previous owner & glued back on. While the glue joint is solid as hell, the laminate on the logo side of the headstock was damaged pretty badly. The break was across the neck behind the truss rod cover (parallel with the nut), and that is the damaged laminate area.<br></br>Any ideas on how to clean this up so it's not so noticeable?I'm not so worried about it looking "showroom" perfect, it's just that the original owner "fixed"…

I've decided to bite the bullet and get a universal binding jig, like Stew-Mac's. Any suggestions on a good laminate router that would fit, is easy to adjust, and won't break the bank? Any pros/cons to either StewMac's or LMI's jigs, or are there others available? Thanks in advance.
