Hi, new here, just joined.
I bought a BC Rich neck and want to fit it on my strat but no holes were drilled so I needed to do that myself.
I used a 2mm drill to drill through the holes in the body into the neck but this has created a problem. The screws will not properly go into the neck and they instead raise the neck off the body by a few millimeters (and the screws will not go fully in).
If anyone knows how to sort this out it would be greatly appreciated.
cheers |

Hi Ray,
Try first putting the screws only in the neck, so you create a track for the screws. Also check is both necks have the same diameter, it sounds like the BC neck could be a bit smaler, so if that is the case try to get also shorter screws, Try getting them in a guitar shop, don't buy harware store stuff, they are weaker.
On a diferent note are the necks of the same scale??? if they are not that may cause a huge intonation problem. If you are not familar with this just count the number of frets.
Have fun!! |
