AgentCooper Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I've recently purchased a lovely old Jazz which has body profiled at neck joint so a standard neck plate cannot be used. As such screws are set deep into body (and subsequently neck). Few ideas: Leave well alone, if it ain't broke don't fix it £0 Tidy up the body with use of countersunk Ferrules .....then and only if required fit inserts (Ebay "WBS Guitar/Bass Neck Joint system" is all I've seen so far) to allow neck to be anchored without fear and also transplant to another body. Other approach I have access is luthier to rebuild to standard body shape with a glued Alder block allowing neck plate to be reinstated. (this will definitely require thought to get neck anchored properly) and a refinish. Thoughts on a postcard? Ta, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubis Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Would this do the job? There is a 5 bolt Fender version on e-bay for a deluxe jazz but I suspect as you say "old jazz" that this wouldn't be for your guitar. I've used one on a telecaster build along with inserts and they worked out fine for me.
