I found this on the Taylor website, and thought it might be of interest here. Shows the Taylor neck joint system which is very similar to the double mortise/tenon joint that's been discussed here, and on John Mayes video. This link is for a high speed connection. https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/features/ntneck/Video. aspx?file=NT_Neck_High.wmx CrowDuck |

Andy, try it here and select the video in the bottom right. Taylor actually sent out DVD's explaining their neck joint, and I believe the headstock scarf joint, when it was first introduced. |

I did a repair on a Chris Adjustomatic last fall that had a neck adjustment scheme similar to Taylor`s. It relied on string tension and a setscrew in combination with a fulcrum. Very different! I have a couple of not so good pics of that if anyone`s interested. |

Did eveyone notice? that the extension is never floating, it is always solid to the block. In a post a couple weeks ago we discussed this issue, and saw examples with floating extensions. Notice on a Taylor, if you change the set-back angle shim on the heal you also have to change the extenion shim as well to keep the extenion in full abd solid contact with the neck block. |

looks like a good idea.....sure a lot easier to build in a factory with all those fancy machines! 
I think similar can be achieve without the shims but using the double mortise and tenon joint with an extension of the neck running under the FB extenstion! Just my thoughts! |
