`aving failed French in school, i did better. i read the subs. Quebec people speak a language i wasn't taught in school, WE were taught Parisian French. I cant understand the Joual they talk.
But in the video i saw the answer to my question what is the block of mahogany doing inside Amber.

the set neck



it is a slot that the tongue on the neck fits into

RobertW,

 I'm sure you are correct,  but alas I'm not of British nobility,  so French is not part of my vocabulary,  I find straightforward English a problem most of the time.

I removed the neck of an Applause Ovation with a similar construction neck, but they set it in Titebond. I removed 3 frets and injected steam in 6 holes. I got it apart but there was some damage from so much steam and force required. The mini-dovetail neck joint was set in epoxy though.

Removing the Seagull neck involves cutting the neck off and milling (or routing) the old neck out of the pocket, and installing a new neck. That has to be expensive as a neck reset, but only they can do it, unless you're able to buy a finished neck from them. With all the models they've obsoleted and changed that might be difficult.

AH!! If I could only swap the neck of newer 1.72" nut models with an older 1.80" model!! But they changed the scale length too. I wouldn't mind finding an Entourage MJ Rustic, but the narrow 1.72" nut is a turn off.

Umm..me? Riding the Amber Trail? maple neck bowed after a couple months?

They replaced the guitar.
