Frankencaster - EP2: Installing a Bolt-on Neck on a Strat Type Guitar Body



Mungo Darkmatter installs a bolt-on neck on his Frankencaster.

A bolt-on neck somehow seems appropriate for a Frankencaster, after all the Frankenstein monster in the 1931 movie had bolts on the side of his neck too.

The term "bolt-on neck" is a bit misleading when it comes to guitar  necks, because it infers that the necks are easily interchangeable without any modifications.  Generally, some minor adjustments such as drilling new holes in the neck, or sanding the neck pocket on the body are necessary to fit and align the neck properly.
