[losgatosrg350dx]

i ive seen project guitars site

but who has actually pulled this off
i have a old kramer, with aborken headstock, i wana remove the fretboard, get some stock, get it to size, reglue it and replace the fretboard, anyone got experience, oh yeah and im goung to do a full scallop on it, i mean deeeep as freakin heck

im getting this neck off cl tomorow morning for free, so i wana know if its worth salvaging!!!

sounds simple, fretboard removal..clean up and re glue hheadstock....angle peghead of course and re glue fretboard

as far as whether or not the neck is savable really depends on the size and type of the break in the headstock. i mean, it's doable no matter what, but it might not end up being worth the effort.

i've removed several fingerboards before, and while it's not an easy (or quick) task in any way, the method on pg works. it works, but takes forever.

post some pics when you get the neck and we'll figure this thing out.

I've done 2 takes a while try a putty knife after you get it started with a razor blade plenty of steam and time.

I pulled all the frets and ran the neck over a planer until I got down ALMOST to the truss rod. Glued on a new fretboard from stewmac and had a friend press in the frets. I drilled for side markers but left the face blank.
