Re: loose neck pocket
My 76 strat has the worst neck joint I've ever seen. It has a veneer on one side and a yellow dunlop pick on the other to stop it moving.
As the previous owner said: "don't remove the pick. It's part of the tone"Originally posted by Jolly -
Re: loose neck pocket
Is this the Imfamous Fender 70's 3-bolt problem?? I fixed my 73' Strat
by putting a piece or mesh in the neck pocket. A 1 1/2 inch square
from a window screen etc. worked like a charm.
No more shifty neck .

Re: loose neck pocket
yeah, though it's not the three bolt system that's the problem. The problem is fender were sloppy drilling the screw holes and routing the pockets. I have a three bolt MIM tele and it's tight as a drum.
A pick for me, mesh for you, I wonder what other crazy things have been used to fix 'crappy 70s fender-itis'?Originally posted by JollyComment
