Fast, clean dovetail neck joint disassembly

Neck Removal Jig

Removing a traditional dovetail-jointed guitar neck from the body is tricky business! The Neck Removal Jig (inspired by an idea from repairman Bryan Galloup) helps avoid damage by letting you apply gradual, controlled thumbscrew pressure to the neck heel, in proper alignment with the dovetail joint. It pushes the neck out, without unnecessary shock.

Instructions
 
Made of sturdy cork-lined plywood and aluminum, it mounts over the shoulders of the acoustic guitar; waist clamps adjust to the instrument's contours. Important: Steam should be injected into the joint to soften the old glue, before and during neck removal, through small holes drilled down through the appropriate fret slot (see our Neck Joint Steamer and hose).

The fretboard extension should be loosened with heat and our removal knife. Instructions included.
