Cat urine smell
3 Replies

Okay, here is a fun topic. My friend has a situation where a cat peed all over his mandolin. It's not a valuable mando, so no great loss, but it would be good to clean it and remove the smell. Any…Continue

Hi Mark, just wanted to get some advice about my Epiphone FT570 based on your experience with the FT550.  Heel design looks the same, so I reckon the joints are the same, 4 dowels and a bolt.  How did you go about heating the neck joint (without toasting the MOTS inlay?)  How did you re-assemble it, did you use the same dowels?

Thanks in advance!

Aaargh! That wasn't what I wanted to hear, but thanks anyway.  I've done  a saw-off reset on my Yamaki and was hoping the bolt meant it was designed to come apart (like Taylor).  No such luck!  Thanks again.

Yes, I was surprised that the bolt is so close to the FB, it's the wrong place to provide support.  My idea now is to remove the strap button, and drill a pilot hole all the way through the neck block. .  Then simply cut off the heel, seems no point in trying to steam it - unless the heel is recessed into the neck block???  On reassembly, replace the strap button screw with a suitable bolt (M5 maybe, with a head that can fit into the button), going all the way through, with nut and washer under the neck block.  Does that sound like a plan?
