Rout a fake dovetail and put it on a stick.
The finishing nail stops it from sliding back out. Just a gentle tap to make it bite, dont need to drive it all the way in...

I’d love to see the fixtures you use to hold guitars and necks for finishing when using a dovetailed neck joint. I can’t seem to visualize anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

James— My most recent guitar is a dovetail. I used the guitar holders that Stew Mac sells as extras for their rotisserie bar. For the body, I had to grind one side of the T to fit down in the narrow part of the mortise, then I drove a screw through it (they have slots) into the block to keep it in place. For the neck, I just screwed the T to the end of the tenon. Both worked fine. They fit on the end of dowels that are somewhat smaller than 3”4 in diameter. You can either use 5/8” or trim down a 3/4” dowel to fit inside the holder. |
