He felt the neck was (and throat) a little too massive and could be taken down some. I also thought the headstock seemed a little wide and didn&#8217;t like the &#8222;swell&#8220; of the volute (as if the poor thing had mumps). So I took the finish off and took the back of the neck down a bit, narrowed the headstock just a little on each side, and completely reshaped the throat and volute. In the end I liked it much better and really think it was worth the extra effort.<\/p>\n<p>Before:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1049 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220429_171407m-1200x712.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220429_171407m-1200x712.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220429_171407m-400x237.jpg 400w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220429_171407m-768x455.jpg 768w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220429_171407m-1536x911.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220429_171407m-624x370.jpg 624w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220429_171407m.jpg 1843w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After reshaping:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1050 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220501_172629m-1200x635.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220501_172629m-1200x635.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220501_172629m-400x212.jpg 400w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220501_172629m-768x407.jpg 768w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220501_172629m-1536x813.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220501_172629m-624x330.jpg 624w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220501_172629m.jpg 1638w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After refinishing:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1051 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220503_163228m-1200x643.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220503_163228m-1200x643.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220503_163228m-400x214.jpg 400w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220503_163228m-768x412.jpg 768w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220503_163228m-1536x824.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220503_163228m-624x335.jpg 624w, http:\/\/muttcrew.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220503_163228m.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No. 27 \u2013 Joanne This is an e-guitar based on the June body shape with some slight adjustments to the curves.
