I'm in Minnesota. Once I move I'll have 220 again so I'll setup my TIG to do this stuff. I did mine with mig, which is fine, but I'd rather TIG a neck.
I make the plates and contour so the factory recesses are still there. Looks nicer than flat plates imho.
Lemme know.
I also have a frame jig, so I could do stretch and stuff where the neck needs to be completely removed.
