<p>Cool stuff Greg , I did this the standard way and used the Stewmac neck press , all went as usual . I plugged the bolt hole with a tapered paint brush handle .<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2167760147?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2167760147?profile=original" width="640" class="align-full"/></a></p>

<p>I made a simple, helpful tool for these. I got a 1" nylon bolt with thread that matches, drilled a hole down through the cap for my steam needle, and a hole crosswise through the threads 7/16" down from the cap, that intersects the lengthwise hole. Shoots steam right into the joint with less mess than any other way I've tried.</p>

I am doing one of these today. Steamed out okay, but a bit of a wrestling match. The joint was tight and packed with glue.<br />
Side question: I had a minor delamination of the side 1/2" at the top of the joint. Glue suggestions anyone?

<p>Make sure the neck angle problem is not from the side/lining/binding/back coming loose.</p>
<p>If it is, you may not need to take the neck out.</p>

<p>Yep, or you can take that stupid bolt out, plug the hole with a cork and steam from there. . .</p>
