Neck joint Questions: Mosrite neck Joints

[Six of One]

I will provide pictures if need be.

Seems like part of the swinging 60's Mosrite owners mindset included.a desire to upgrade to the latest look in neck support.

Extra holes in the neck tenons,

In this case, a Celebrity III 6str with extra holes under the neck plate, from the original 3 screw design.

Would you like to go on a ride?

Plus! You may be asked to get out and push.

It's A celebrity III. I got ahead of myself.

At one time it was a 3 Screw and washer.
The top and bottom 2 holes are where a Peanut Neck plate was added and covers all the drillin'

In the neck pocket photo, you can see where the top right hole was a miss.

All of the holes are within the original area of the peanut plate, I would just plug excess holes in the NECK, with epoxy, smooth them off and reinstall as original.

Thanks for the look see, Dan. You nailed my plan.

Coming from you, I am even more sure of my decision.


Spent a quiet evening last night doing tear down/cleaning/ reassembly of the non-roller bridge.

The guitar is in excellent condition. From an estate auction lot.
She cleans up real nice
Crisp edges, Zero surface checking, Minuscule corrosion
