ROTD: The neck block on this old patrician hollow body was completely separated from the top, back, and sides, which made taking the neck off really tricky. Even trickier was figuring out how to clamp it all back together. By pushing the neck block all the way into the body I was able to install a long bolt through the neck block via the bass side f-hole. After wrangling the neck block/bolt back into the correct position (don’t ask me how), I was able to use a bolt to clamp the sides to the neck block, while the quick clamps secured the top and back. The other clamps took care of the back separating from the sides and a split top.
