Maton F10 Classical neck reset ?

[donnyb]

Hi ,
I have on the bench the subject 1970 Maton with a neck that is parting from the body. Built 1970. Nylon stringed.

Has anyone removed one of these necks and can give me a heads up on what to expect ? It doesn't appear to be a traditional dovetail joint.

Thankyou,

Maton typically use the traditional dovetail, i cannot remember if they ever made a spanish heeled neck on any of their guitars, this is a photo shot from a maton that i made a replacement neck for

Thanks again for the confirmation Mirwa.
The photo isn't showing though. Just an icon.

As info, the pic does not show on my phone using Chrome browser while signed in but it does show if I use Duck Duck Go browser on the same phone even if though I am not signed in.

Interesting, I use safari and it comes up fine, just used google chrome on my laptop and no photo either, I am guessing its a board limitation.

The core picture i can view on my website using google chrome

Unless the dovetail was poorly fitted, I wouldn't expect the neck to be pulling away from the body. I suspect it may be a doweled or a straight tenon joint.
When I have doubts about a neck joint, I like to remove the entire fingerboard to scope it out. It has save my neck on several occasions.

Thanks John. It was a low priced Maton in its day. I have also emailed Maton with the question but it was built 50 years ago. Hoping they have good records.
