Neck Joint Steamer

I chose to try my first neck removal on a 1933 Gibson L-00 (yikes)! This thing worked like a charm. I attached it to a cappuccino machine ... perfect. Worth every penny.

the neck joint steamer works great. stewmac's service gets 5 stars as well.

I bought the neck reset jig and this is needed so I decided to buy instead of making my own. After checking out the price of stainless tubing I felt it was cheaper to buy then make. Well made and an A+

I pulled off my first neck from a 1935 Rickenbacker Electro with this great tool. I don't think I would have attempted this job if it wasn't for this tool. Made my life easier and my customer is very pleased with the result. Thanks StewMac!

As a properly pressure and heat rated hose, this has a fair amount of thermal mass, so it does take a while to stop spitting, you need to wait for it to get hot! But I'm much happier waiting a while longer, and using gloves to handle it, than risk getting serious burns due to failure of an inadequate hose.
This isn't just a tool, it's a piece of safety equipment!
Thanks for doing the work for me StewMac, I doubt I could have sourced the required parts myself very easily.

Within a minute or two the dovetail separated with just gentle pressure. The hose end fit perfectly on our pressure cooker.

Works just like it should,as all Stewart-MacDonald items do. Very helpful, and fast Customer Service.
Thank you. Steven

I've hooked mine to a wallpaper stripper. The long hose (about 10 feet) in coils acts as a condenser to knock out unwanted water. It's very powerful and very quick. No puller jig needed...just a little wiggling.

I purchased the hose and needle combo, wish I had just got the needle since i had the same fuel line hose in my shop. I went with a pressure cooker for steam source, tried it on gas burner and also electric hot plate trying to regulate heat to reduce the excess water.I was working on a disposable guitar at the time, so the water was not a huge concern. I did go an buy a clothes steamer from target $25, same thing but not quite as bad, so I decided to use the hose that came with the steamer 3/4" OD and just use 15" of the fuel hose with the needle, this really reduced the amount of water spurts, not as flexable as the 3/8" hose but the 15" of 3/8" is enough to get around.

Overall I rate the item 4 stars as with most stew mac items a little pricey but i keep coming back. But I will say that i do learn a lot from you guys that i don't really pay for so maybe that makes us square on the deal. I keep wanting to purchase some DVD's but they have really low reviews on quality, maybe you guys could work on that.

Kind of expensive but where would you get all the parts. Should last a lifetime.
