On my stewmac 000 kit I want to modify the neck. Is it possible and safe to remove the neck volute. Would it weaken the neck at the peghead?
Thanks

Re: Neck Volute
Curious why you prefer to remove the volute? A volute makes perfect sense considering that it adds strength to the critical area where the headstock joins the neck.
