How to Make a One Piece Bolt On Guitar Neck with Skunk Stripe

Due to popular request (Thanks James Perry - and others!!) I'm going to do my best to explain/demo how to fit the truss rod in from the back of the neck and create what we all know and love as the 'Skunk Stripe'.

 

Measure twice, cut once...

Thanks a million Mark. I'm gonna log on now to get a front row seat. If anyone sits in front of me or talks while teacher is speaking then I'll NEC tape their mouths shut and make em sit on the Up and Downer! I'm so excited ?

Mentioning *no* names, but that’d probably encourage some people to sit in front of you and talk while teacher is speaking ...

From the little bit I saw today, this looked like an interesting session, I will go and watch it from the start. Thanks to you both Mark and Carol.

Exactly the same goes for me!

I had to leave early today, so I'm heading back to watch the session again shortly.

At least this way I don't get sent to the back of the classroom (and worse) by the Lady-in-Charge!

Thanks a million for making the effort to do all the prep and make this livestream. So many of my questions were answered along the way and some superb tips and techniques that I've not seen anywhere else. The truss rod and the slot router jig were just amazing!

Scary as it will be, I'm deffo going to attempt a one piece maple bolt on bass neck.....even with the 'horror hole'........and if yer lucky...... I'll put pics up for the lols ?

Thanks again Mark, Carol and Lewis..... once again you triumphed in the face of adversity 

11 out of 10 from me
