BLS Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Is their anything you DONT use flamed maple for?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanKirk Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 when fingerboard glue.. fingerboard is moving.. so i try.. screw? .. I had the same problem when glueing my maple top to alder body. As I tightened the clamps, the two pieces kept sliding. Was very stressful to keep them straight and clamp it tight. Next time I'll drill holes and use wooden dowels to attach the top & body together where a pickup and neck route will be then I'll glue and clamp. Beautiful neck Hyunsu!

moojiefulagin Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 looks great hyunsu! in regards to the fretboard sliding, I have always used a thin nail, about 3/16" long, inserted between the neck and fretrboard before gluing. This way the pieces will clamp together, and the nail, which sticks a little into both pieces, will secure the two parts. i believe this has been noted on the forum before?? keep up the good work!
