How to create an electric bass guitar via wood lamination and other various woodcrafting techniques

Step 14 Prototype #2: Bolt on Neck:

For a bolt on neck you will need to route out a neck pocket for the neck to bolt into. Carefully measure out the exact spot that the neck will bolt into and use your router to create the pocket. Remember to secure the body to your work surface so that the router doesn't send it flying across the room. The easiest way to route out the area is to make multiple passes lowering the router bit each time a little lower.

If you routed out your neck pocket correctly than this next step should be a breeze. Measure 4 equally spaced holes in the neck pocket for the bolts you will be using. Next take the neck and drill matching holes into the end that will fasten to the body. Finally using hex bolt screws, bolt the neck onto the body.

SCIENCE!!
