andy K..........
"someone respected watching this". You can't be serious? So the rest of us are not "respected"? :bigal
And "shortcuts"; "can of worms". :hmm
You and I must be viewing something completely different cause I ain't seeing it that way. The only "flaw" I have observed thus far is the possibility the maple cap was not sanded down properly in the area of the neck pocket, resulting in a slight gap between the bottom of the outside edges of the fingerboard and maple cap. The method Gibson uses to attach and glue the completed fingerboard to the mahogany neck piece eliminates the likelihood of gaps in the completed neck piece (shown in the attached YouTube video of Gibson Custom Shop). What I saw was a pneumatic press in use to mate these two neck parts together, the entire length of the fingerboard.
Help me understand how a small gap could result from this method of mating two pieces of wood together.
"The OP, and Florian are going where few people would tread" haha. Sounds like you have been watching too many Star Trek re-runs.
The "devils advocate" role playing is disingenuous and borderline comical. :ha It's past time you stop attempting to derail this very informative thread.
thanks,
i knew it was only a matter of time,
step 1, fretboard is attached to neck-in pneumatic press,
step 2, neck assembly is mated to body, and glued and clamped.
unless the guy sticking the body and neck together has x-ray eyes, he cant SEE whats going on underneath.
step 3, fretboard is removed-showing visible gap between neck tenon and level of body cap either side, ie, gap which should not be there--2 flat surfaces pressed in step 1---werent pressed enough???
discussing these pictures, and how the situation has arisen isn't derailing the thread--we arent talking about a gap
'between the bottom of the outside edges of the fingerboard and maple cap' are we??
its a gap between the fretboard and the neck.
I'm here to help, and respect all you guys, just there has been no possible explanations given--so far.
live long and prosper :dude:
