Greetings all.
I am in possession of a Vega Style N banjo. I want it to have a long neck, a la the banjos I am reading about here: http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/224825
I have a couple questions for the experts in the room.
My current intention is to acquire a Goldtone B1022 neck (http://www.goldtone.com/products/details/w/instrument/337/B1022-MM-150-Long-Neck). But I haven't been able to talk to anyone at Goldtone to make sure that it would work. Specifically I wonder whether the heel fits or could be shaped to fit this particular pot. I am capable enough with wood and tools to accomplish the task, but only if this application is the sort of thing that these necks are intended for, if you see what I mean.
But if the heel needs to be shaped, presumably I'd need to know the proper angle. Would this be 3 degrees for a long neck?
Thank you for all the work that you have already done educating people in these matters.
