- Clean off as much of the old glue as possible, including down the back of the fretboard.
- Glue the fretboard back to the lower part of the neck.
- Glue the upper neck onto the lower neck and fretboard.
- Make some clever jigs!
- Rout out one side of the neck across the joint; form new sapele infill and glue in place.
- Once dry, repeat for the other side.
- Rough shape the side infills to the profile of the neck.
- Rout out back face of the neck across the joint; form new sapele infill and glue in place.
- Rough shape the back and sides of the neck.
- Finish shaping and sand down with progressively finer sandpaper for refinishing (including removing any remaining nasty brown stain that was done on the old repair).
- Refinish using either satin water based varnish or tung oil. This might be a temporary refinish and I might come back later and do the whole neck, depending on how it turns out. (See previous Yamaha repair https://beaterguitar.blogspot.com/2015/07/ .)
