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.

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.
