<p>Hi</p>
<p>I have a new Martin "factory second" body and neck. I am looking for a guide on setting this up. I have found a lot of guides for "resetting" necks but not for setting up a neck properly for the first time. I am new to guitars but have a lot of experience working with wood.</p>
<p>I am hoping someone can point me to an online reference, here or elsewhere, that goes over this initial set up in detail.</p>
<p>The guitar is a 00015 with a mortise and tenon set up. The body is complete…</p>
<p>Hi</p>
<p>I have a new Martin "factory second" body and neck. I am looking for a guide on setting this up. I have found a lot of guides for "resetting" necks but not for setting up a neck properly for the first time. I am new to guitars but have a lot of experience working with wood.</p>
<p>I am hoping someone can point me to an online reference, here or elsewhere, that goes over this initial set up in detail.</p>
<p>The guitar is a 00015 with a mortise and tenon set up. The body is complete but the neck, frets, fretboard, bridge are not installed.</p>
<p>I found this site: <a href="http://www.kennethmichaelguitars.com/NECKSET.html">http://www.kennethmichaelguitars.com/NECKSET.html</a></p>
<p>after a lot of searching, and it looks useful but I am concerned that with a Martin it might be a little different.</p>
<p>Also, there does not appear to be different sections or areas on this forum, which makes the searching a little more confusing. There must be a good reason for having it set up this way, or perhaps I am missing something.</p>
<p>Thank you very much,</p>
<p></p>
