I'm surprised that there wasn't more response to this post but I'll give an update and I'll post some pictures just for the archives. If you ever do any neck removal w/ steam, its a very good thing to have. Michael, Thanks for the reply, I have the stewmac needle also. I'm not entirely sure of the best way to apply steam to get the remaining glue to let go. I remember that on the Les Paul I removed a fret and drilled a hole through the tenon and applied steam. In the picture it looks like there are dowels on either side of mortise and tenon - I don't know what these circular things are. I came across a youtube video of someone removing a neck from an SG guitar and they removed the fretboard first. It took just a little steam to make the body let go and it was a clean neck removal. ![]() ![]() I did a very successful repair on a Les Paul a few years back with similar issues but I don't remember much of the details. He stopped tightening the strings and brought me the bass.Ībout 75% of the joint lines are fractured. The client noticed that the neck joint was showing cracks at the joint lines and that the joint on the back was getting a bigger gap as he began tightening a set of new strings. ![]() This bass had been put away for a few years.
