Donnie, I will send you four milled from solid stock necks in trade for your cast necks.

Remember, it isn't a cabinet to which you simply add parts, or reattach parts.
Would you please explain, Chris?

Thanks, Jody!
Chris, as you can qualify from my posts, I'm open minded. I understand if you don't want to contribute your knowledge. Does anybody know what Chris is talking about?
Mounting plates

Cameron,
That's an interesting mod. If it sounds better , it is better. I also like your attitude regarding modifications. If it adds to your enjoyment of the instrument, vs. "saving it for the next guy" I say go for it. It's not like you're taking a chainsaw to a Stradivarius.
Scott, I believe my Zum uses nylon bushings, but don't mount directly to the body.
I'd like to hear from pickup manufacturers on mounting plate materials ,and from builders regarding mounting mechanisms.
A lot of knowledge here on the forum.

Legrande

The very first night I played my brand new Legrande II out, the third string tuning key came off the keyhead. I modified it by replacing the tuning keys with sperzals. Eventually one of the East coasters got it and took the back neck off.
So thankful for Show Pro steel guitars...
