I recently got one of the Brazilian ebony necks from the showcase, all was great until I tried mounting it to the body (warmoth body).
The neck screws (from Warmoth) absolutely stopped almost a quarter inch from fully screwed in and no amount of force was getting them any farther, I have no doubt any more that what I was trying was going to break the heads off so I backed them out. Those screws are trash now so I've got a couple days before new ones and some spares arrive.
I did verify the depth is there to fit the length of the screw so there must be a taper to the pilot hole.
But the question is, anyone experience this before?
