Aristocrat neck joint

[aristomaniac]

Hi Guys I have a technical question about 1950's Aristocrat neck joint. Were they just small dovetails ? Or were they a mortise and tenon ?
I'm going to have to do a reset on one.
Thanks Alex

Pretty sure that it's a dovetail. I don't know of a classic Guild hollowbody with a motise and tenon.

Here are some photos from the neck reset on my 1954 Aristocrat that might help

That's a beefy dovetail!

It's a thin body, so you need that.
