Never saw one in person, but by the looks, you should be able to feel inside the sound hole and feel that paddle.

Will do. It probably won’t be for another few weeks. I absolutely will when I do.

<p>There are two images posted by Dan Elliot at the bottom of page one. This is another type of joint you may run into. A dovetail that has parallel sides, no V shape at all. I did a Gibson Gospel a year plus or so ago with one of these #!!*#^! joints. It was very heavily glued in the dovetail and also the heel to the sides, they spared no expense on glue. The dovetail completely filled the mortise, no pocket for my steam needle. I started with holes through the finger board but ended up cutting off the fingerboard extension for better access. Much frustration getting this one apart but I eventually did.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

I’ll try to explain this the best I can. I believe in the early 1970s till about 1992 gibson added another piece of wood to the Tenon. It’s kinda of like an electric neck joint but also has a dovetail. If you google “1970s gibson neck joint” you’ll see some pictures. I included some links too. Not sure if they will work.<br />
<br />
My question is are all of them like that? Or did they just do it randomly? I basically want to know. Will I get lucky and get a regular neck joint or am I defiantly going to…

This goes for the sound board being glued over the dovetail as well.<br />

<p>OK, I'll bite,</p>
<p>I have to confess my ignorance as to what a "paddle joint " is.</p>
<p>I know what a neck dovetail joint is , and I know what a headstock scarf joint is, but I have no idea what a "paddle joint " is. </p>
