Hi<br />
<br />
Hope I'm not too late, I just joined.<br />

The plug is usually polyfilla, and keep your eye out, as sometimes theere is a screw sideways into the joint, which you'll be able to see in the cutaway. Obviously you'll need to finish over the plug, and mixing that green is annoying. It had a lot more red in than I was expecting.<br />
<br />
They usually pop right out with hardly any steam once you've taken out the screws. I had no need to use a jig on either anniversarys that I've had the necks off.<br />

Hey Bill,<br />
Thanks for the reply. I figgured the Gretsch 6118 neck joint was as you described. Looks like the biggest problem is going to be getting the plug out of the heel without any ( or, too much ) damage . Thanks again, I appreciate the advice. Dale
