fookgub Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 So, I'm building a new body for this guitar, and I'm thinking about doing an all-access neck joint (AANJ). The body has a square heel, and I've made both square-heel and AANJ templates. Which do you prefer? Either way, I will probably scallop the heel Ibanez style, but dispense with the plate.

GregP Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I say why not? It's not quite the drastic change that many people claim (as I'm sure you know), but it IS an improvement, in my opinion. Why not improve upon a design when you have the chance? Give'er! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I left out an important point: If I do the AANJ, I'm going to have to reshape the heel of the neck. No problem, except that one of the plugged screw holes from the old square joint will be visible. I don't think it will be very objectionable if I use a mahogany dowel to plug it, though.
