I've got a few days off now so have to decide between TV's, Darren's and Mark suggestions...
With all that time on your hands, route yourself a new cockup in a bit of scrap and have a trial repair using TV's and Darren's methods.
The best part of all these mega helpful answers is the knowledge that I'm probably not alone in cocking up! Cock up rectification advice must surely stem from prior experience of the cock up, hence the anti cock up path taken by the original cock upper can be passed on to the new cock uppee. This organic transference of lived experience thereby renders the newbie cock uppee part of a family........ a support group...... a safe...dare I say, 'bubble' if you will.
Therefore, rather than crying like a baby in one's shed cursing all things black and decker
, one gets a warm fuzzy feeling that only being part of a cock up community can bring.
This is spot on James. 🤣
Make guitars, not war 🌍✌️🎸
Well thanks to the advice from the elders of this great forum I down cocked......
I cut and sanded a piece of maple as Bagpress suggested and flued it onto the nick
Once dry, I band sawed it flusher (that is proper English, right) and sanded it even much more flusherer still.
Once the fretboard was radiused and with some sawdust mixed with the glue as per TV101,the cock up was thwarted 😃
However...... the damn neck has still been demoted to firewood for other reasons!
Thanks again folks... but why weren't you here today to help me?
