Hey Folks.

How long (depth that it protrudes into the body) should the dovetail be on the neck joint?

Or should i say what is the absolute minimum it should be?

Thanks in advance.

G.

3/4 on the mortise (neck block) and 5/8 on the tenon(dovetail on neck) works would not want less than 1/2 on the tenon
