Twunkbass Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 So I have a bunch of guitar necks that fit the body cavities, but the screw holes don't all line up. I' thinking I should use maple dowells to plug the holes in the neck and then re drill them? Any advice before I make a mess is welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Probably the best way, i would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfist Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I have done similar to your suggestion and it worked well. Also, if the holes are only slightly non-aligned, the other option is, of course, to enlarge the holes slightly. In my experience, even if you do this quite considerably, it has no effect on neck stability, which almost completely comes from the clamping force of the screws pulling the neck back on to the body.
