Noob question about neck joints...

[mick666]

I'm hoping to build a Glenn Tipton replica like this one...

I was wondering about the access to the higher frets and what would be the best way to go about building the neck joint.

 

[-CB-]

The best way is a neck thru the body.... but its not the cheapest or easiest way

Neck through would be ideal, long tenon at the very least.

Stew Mac sells a thru body guitar neck.  All you'd need to do is glue on the body wings and shape the headstock.

On the downside it is a tilt back headstock and I'm not sure if the scale length is correct.

NP ... I also found this thread with more pics - also how the owner refurbish a BC Rich The Beast hard case to fit the guitar:

And - the luthier Jens H playing the guitar before shipping:

And the "unboxing" - the owner called Turtle receiving the guitar at the Vintage Guitar Show 2008:

If you need additional info I can try and get it from Turtle.
