No, I'm too cheap for that. I just flatten the end of a 3/4 EMT conduit and rivet onto the aluminum then wood screw it into the neck screw holes. There's a 1/2" spacer block under the aluminum that sets it up out of the pocket so the paint can roll in a little, simple but works great..

You probably meant the body, LOL, I'm idiot. The body is wood glued and clamped, wood glue is plenty strong enough if the break fits back together well. On bad breaks I usually blind pin them.

Not cheap... but frugal! and yes, I meant the lower body. Thanks for the info.
