For my semi-holow tele, I purchased a Tele neck from Stu Mac but have decided I want a Gibson type headstock. Could I possibly use a scarf joint to add Gib. headstock to neck w fender headstock removed? Add volute for strength? Thanks,bob J39113.4620486111

Bob I've never seen the StewMac tele neck up close in person -- so not sure I could give you a qualified answer. Seeing your question though makes me wonder -- why would you want to put a Gibson type headstock on a thinline Tele body style? If it's the traditional Gibson moustache shaped headstock it'll look really odd. Unless by Gibson style you are thinking a funky shaped 3 on each side tuner design headstock. Please do not take offense with my questions and comments as none were intended.Anthony Z39113.5174074074

or the explorer type heastock. I don't think you could realistic modify a SM neck. They are reasonably simple to make. Just build one.

Over on the Jam Session forum there was a guy who did SOMETHING along these lines...... full thread here English is not Hookway's first language (he's scandinavian) but his English is still a LOT better than my Norwegian!! [QUOTE=Hookway]This is under contstruction but I will let you know whats going on so far... I'm bulding a flying V with a own buildbody but I've use a Epiphone neck wich I glue into to body with a special trix of my own. (on the pics the neck not in fit) Can something be more ugly than the terrible Epiphonehead? Plugged... Time to "kill" the head :cool: And it's already look alright! New "wings" in maple... Going to be something like this... have'nt decide yet if I should go the Gibsonway or my own...[/QUOTE]

My body shape will be modified Tele and I simply like the look of the Gibson headstock better.
