I think I fretted (pun intended) about attaching the neck more any other part of my build. To be honest I think it was the easiest part.
Which is easiest neck to attach is a tough question without knowing you or your skills.
I don't think attaching a neck with a Spanish heel would be any more difficult than a neck without. A neck with a heel would have a larger glue area, which could be important with a butt joint.
I will say that a neck with a dovetail would be the most difficult and a a neck with a butt joint the simplest. I will say that I'm just not convinced that a plain butt joint is a good idea or very reliable.
A few questions...
Are you making your own neck or are you purchasing a pre-fab neck?
What type of tools do you have and what experience do you have using them?
Well I watched Dave G's video on youtube and he made it look easy
I couldn't find Dave's video on youtube. Could you post a link?
Thanks,

So, I can't tell from the pictures, do the Mainland necks have a simple butted neck joint, as in, just glue it on flat to the uke body, or do they have a block that can be attached as in Dave's video? Sorry if I don't have all the terminology down yet...imma fix that real soon!
