Mattia Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 veneer's the best option here, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_the_damned Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'd say it depends on how much of a gap you're talking about. I've used paper soaked in PVA layered up to make neck pockets that were *slightly* loose tighter. When the PVA dries (don't use to much) it'll turn into a very soild very stable substace with the paper though its a bit messy and goo-y before it dries.

This might be fine for a bolt-on neck, but titebond doesn't stick to titebond worth anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvalentine Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I took an old KALAMAZOO Bass apart and when I took the neck off, all of these pieces of green plastic feel out of the neck pocket. I thought that was funny. I guess anything that works... works. Rule Number 5 in Combat: "If it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid."
