Yeah I really didn't think of the honey, it makes sence, I'll do that if I ever need to remove the neck plate again, and as for the second part I did exactly that as a replacing the screws step.
Thanks for the tips

SRVFender, Lucky you! The manual you will need is on this website. First there isn't a luthier that can do anything for your guitar that you can't do yourself. That guitar is your magic wand your AK47 your laser cannon your scalpel which you use to make your audience happy and excited and a bunch of other good stuff. Rarely are you going to have the opportunity to be so involved with your instrument as when making a repair or modification so cherish every moment as you take it apart look at every inch as if you were some kind of wizard inspector hold it as if it is an extension of you because it is just that. Do everything carefully like a surgeon that is saving a patients life. Then follow the same procedure when reassembling because it may be awhile until you can be that close and important to your instrument again. Have fun Bro and post a pic after.
