Dueling Korina Builds

[Inspector #20]

Looked up Musikraft, and they only have replacement Fender necks on their website.

You certainly have enough parts on hand to upgrade any player model that crosses your path. You live in a high enough population density to grab something nice off of Craigslist. Honestly, my knowledge is limited to some old stuff I have. If they can give you something you may think will work, go for it.

Musikraft will build custom bodies to order.

I mill it at the angle I want. That way when it's firmly clamped to the body, it's supposed to be at the correct angle. I'll set it up with my Starrett protractor and 12" scale. There have been times I measured three times, and still cut it wrong. The T-Bird was supposed to be 1.5 degrees, but ended up being 4 degrees. Harrumph!

At home I do it with a cheap milling vise on my drill press and throw a 1/2" end mill in the chuck to clean it up. Rarely, do I get the luxury of using a Bridgeport to mill it.

I hope to revisit the whole neck angle, body join, geometry, head scratching questions. As smitty_p and thatbastarddon know, I am in guitar neck questions land, so you may get some advice questions shot your way too. SG John

I also hope to revisit these two builds when the weather gets warmer. I'd really like to finish them.
