about neck-thru

[FireItUp]

now if i wanted to attach wings to a neck how would i go about that? like use glue or something. And would it hold a 20x6 in. or 6x20 in. (i forget which is lenght and which is height) wing on each side? yea its a noobish question, i finally decided to go ahead and start working on some ideas i had in my head. Ill post a picture of what i mean if im not clear but i dont know to post pics yet. thanks:thumb:

What you want is Titebond Original Wood Glue. It's pretty much the standard among electric guitar/bass makers. If you want to get fancy you can use hide glue but I haven't done it.

do you use biscuits, or no?

No, a butt joint is plenty strong enough. Biscuits would help keep the pieces aligned while clamping though.
