<p>I don't think the cutaway will cause any special challenges. Just a couple of things to keep in mind:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) The guilds that I've reset all had the neck installed before the lacquer was sprayed. So even if you cut through the finish with a razor blade prior to dis-assembly, there's going to be a little finish work, on the bass side anyway (assuming it's a right handed guitar!).

<p>2) If the heel is flush with the sides at the cutaway, then you need to shim the joint in such a way as to ensure that the heel is flush or a touch(1/64"or less) inset on the treble side. Kind of like putting a replacement door in the middle of a rough opening so the trim on both sides of the door will be the same width. Typically, making 2 shims of the same thickness is an adequate solution, but keep your eye on this as you work. Of course, the lateral set needs to be right too!</p> Great work, thank you for the…tag:fretsnet.ning.com,2011-11-10:2177249:Comment:770002011-11-10T09:58:05.238ZPierre-Antoine Roironhttp://fretsnet.ning.com/profile/PierreAntoineRoiron

Hmmm, you might have to do a little tuchup, but if you work slow and steady I think you'll be fine. I really love using math during a neck set. It's a real time saver for me. Here's a link with the formula I use ( click on the math images for larger pics of the formulas):…

Here's a dovetail article I wrote. Lately, I've been using dental articulating paper instead of carbon paper:<br />
