Ce dont vous avez besoin

  1. Separate headstock & neck of Rock Band Fender Stratocaster, Forewarning: étape 1, image 1 de 1
    • This is the version of the guitare I have based this guide on. Your mileage may vary depending on your country, the batch of your guitar, etc.

  2. Separate headstock & neck of Rock Band Fender Stratocaster, First look: étape 2, image 1 de 1
    • Take your guitar.

    • Turn it around in a glorious rock'n'roll motion.

    • Take a look at the screws at the back, and fetch a Phillips screwdriver with the appropriate size.

  3. Separate headstock & neck of Rock Band Fender Stratocaster, Open the headstock: étape 3, image 1 de 1
    • Unscrew the 4 screws at the back of the headstock.

    • You can also unscrew the screw at the top of the neck.

    • You don't have to do this last step, but it might give you a bit more wiggle room later on.

  4. Separate headstock & neck of Rock Band Fender Stratocaster, Remove the metal plate: étape 4, image 1 de 1
    • A metal plate hides the insertion of the neck into the headstock.

    • Unscrew the tiny tiny Phillips screw with the appropriate Phillips screwdriver.

    • It's the only things that holds the metal plate in place at this stage.

    • Without the screw, the metal plate can be pulled out without any resistance.

    • Now you can see why this headstock is pretty impossible to pull back : there are 2 metal bits preventing it from sliding off.

    • Unswcrew the 2 shiny screws at the top of the neck.

    • Without them, we will have more wiggle room to separate the headstock from the neck.

  6. Separate headstock & neck of Rock Band Fender Stratocaster, Separation: étape 6, image 1 de 1
    • With the neck screw removed, you should be able to slightly separate the 2 half of the neck at its top.

    • But one half of the neck probably stays stuck under the 2 metal bits.

    • That's OK: using your nails or a flat head screwdriver, just pull up the 2 metal bits, they shouldn't resist too much.

    • You can now be able to separate the headstock from the neck pretty easily.

  7. Separate headstock & neck of Rock Band Fender Stratocaster, Putting the neck back together: étape 7, image 1 de 1
    • If you have removed it, but back the external screw at the top of the neck.

    • Put back the 2 shiny screws at the very top of the neck.

  8. Separate headstock & neck of Rock Band Fender Stratocaster, Putting the headstock back together: étape 8, image 1 de 1
    • Put back the 2 metal bits, making sure you keep the proper orientation.

    • If you don't put them back in position, you will be able to engage and separate the headstock and the neck without having to dismantle everything again.

    • Put back the metal plate, and screw back the little screw that holds it.

    • Close the headstock.

    • Screw back the four headstock screws.

    • You're done! :)
