Hi,

has anybody experienced a lot of neck movement on their Dan Aemstrong plexi guitar?

I have a smoked finish 1999 re-issue and, like the 1960s originals, it has a weak neck which moves a lot.

Ampeg product support said the solution was to use smaller bolts, fill up the holes in the neck and bolt it from the outside.

I've seen two techs and they said it's not the neck joint that is the problem, but the neck itself which is moving.

Any ideas on how to strengthen the neck?

Luca
