Can you elaborate some on the neck removal process, Charles ?
Steve has stated that dowels were used to locate the neck, and Brian says that the joint is a square tenon, so obviously there are no dovetails involved.
I am interested to know how you went about steaming these necks off.
As I said above, IMO the best option is to shim the neck with a tapered shim,(which incidentally I have just done with a Radiotone archtop ) but your experience seems to indicate that that may not be the optimum approach.
