Injecting steam into a dovetail neck joint, through one or more small holes drilled through a fret slot, can help loosen the glue for neck removal. Our hose assembly has an extra-long 3-1/2" x 5/64" injector needle, insulating rubber handle, 1/4" hose rated for heat and pressure, and hose clamp for attachment to a pressure cooker or other steam source (such as a espresso/cappuccino maker).
Use with our Neck Removal Jig for faster, cleaner dovetail neck joint disassembly.
