Epiphone Casino neck reset

[George Semenov]

I just bought an Epiphone Casino that had a horrible neck re-glue job. Is the neck/body joint a standard tenon or dovetail? Will the 17th fret give me good access to steam it apart?

Okay, I answered my own question. I don't need to go through the fret board to steam the neck apart. See pics. I am amazed that Epiphone sets a neck with so much slop. There is a 1 mm gap on both sides of the neck block. No wonder the the neck started to come apart for the previous owner.

Wow that make Beate's neck block look great.

Nothing that a little veneer can't shore up. I hope it turns into a decent player in no time.
