The neck is fastened with a tongue and groove connection to the body. First, check
whether the connection between neck and body fits correctly. Wood slightly
changes its shape over time. If the neck sits too tight in the groove on the body, a
slight adjustment with a sharp wood chisel or sandpaper may be needed.
Apply wood glue to groove, tongue and the rest of the neck heel, which comes into
contact with the body. Position the neck on the body and fix the neck with a
clamping or adhesive tape. Re-check the correct position of the neck to the body
before the glue joint has dried.
The fretboard is glued to the neck. Apply wood glue on both surfaces. Position the
fretboard on the neck and align it so that at the base of the headstock a 5 mm clear
space remains for mounting the nut. To dry the adhesive joint, fix the fretboard with
rubber rings on the neck.
