Hi. I picked this old Czech guitar up recently on ebay but the neck has a 'wobble'. It appears loose:   I can only see one obvious way the neck is secured to the body:  Is that just a nut in to a threaded insert in the body? It looks like an old clock winder! Odd shape of nut?! I have read that it is some kind of adjustment, but I'm thinking its literally that simple.  Thought I'd ask as I want to re-fret this instrument and removing the neck would make that a LOT easier. |

Well I ordered a brass clock winding tool ..  Which did the trick. I was brave and unscrewed the thing.  It was indeed just a single threaded insert and a bolt holding the neck on. I really appreciate the utility of that - it has lasted over half a century and still works fine. ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")

It sounds like a good story - but I am afraid that I still can't see the pictures. |
