Anybody have any experience building guitars?

21. I Put A Warmouth Neck On A Strat

I bought a bird's eye maple neck (separate but matching fingerboard).

But, that's a bolt on, so there was nothing to it. I put different pick-ups and control pots in it too, plus a brushed metal scratchplate.

But, since Strats are simple planks of wood, that was easy too.

The real trick, it seems to me, is getting the neck on a guitar when it's not bolted on, but integral. I think they dovetail those joints. That would take really good alignment and manual skills i don't have.

But, i can tell you that they do make really good parts. My neck is the same today as it was when i bought it 1982. Frets are unchanged, neck is still rail straight.
