| Removing the neck from a Gibson, or any set neck for that matter, is not for the faint of heart. If the Gibson neck is trashed then a band saw can be employed. But if the neck is to be preserved then he fingerboard is removed, small holes are drilled into the joint and steam is injected to break the glue bond. Once the neck is removed the neck pocket must be enlarged with a router and template to accept the Fender neck. Holes will be bored through the neck pocket if the neck is to be attached with bolts. At this point it is probably wise to plug the existing holes in the existing Fender neck. This will make lining the neck up a little easier. Then the neck is placed on the body along with the E and G strings and clamped into place when the margin is equal. The neck is marked using the new holes in the body. The neck is bored and assembly begins.
That is a rough outline of what you will be getting yourself into. Obviously this is not a job for those who are not seriously handy, have at least moderate shop facilities and tooling, and are willing to commit some major time to the task. If you are serious about taking on a project of this magnitude it would be a good idea to invest in some repair and building manuals and immerse yourself in some theory and practice. |
