My son came home from a day with his mother toting a Les Paul Special 2 that he "rescued from the Goodwill". It seems they were throwing it out because the truss rod is broken, he asked what they wanted for it, and they told him he could take it. The guitar tuned and plays well enough, but you can sure enough hear the truss rod rattle around in the neck. He seems to like it, and wants to keep it to tear it apart and learn how to do his mods, so that being said,obviously first one is going to be removal of the fretboard to replace the truss rod. My question is this...are the neck of the special 2 les paul, SG, and the les paul junior all the same? would anyone happen to have the actual dimensions of the heel for the neck. I know Epiphone doesn't sell one (not cost effective) but I'd like to have something lined up without having to pull everything apart on him in the event that surgery takes a turn for the worse.
Thanks in advance.
