@94dodgedude Looks good from here, great job! I can see that it’s not perfect but getting those simple shaped inlays perfectly straight isn’t easy. Cheers!

I still have to clean up the small volute and heel but she feels like a comfy neck now. That's what one of the most satisfying parts of the guitar build (IMHO) - carving the neck, and turning a lump ...

I like those rectangular inlays, looks great.

@94dodgedude Oh right. I always forget about those. I think they are similar to the classic Gotoh truss rods. I guess the idea behind them is that the u channel adds stiffness to the neck.

@94dodgedude What kind of truss rod are you using? It sounds massive...

@94dodgedude Darren is right, we all do things in the wrong order sometimes because of distraction etc and no guitar building ever goes without problems. It’s how we learn from them and are able to fi...

I am pretty sure that you will find that very few guitars are ever built 'in the right order'! We get distracted, we want to see how the next bit will look, we forget to drill holes - important holes,...

@94dodgedude It’s all good work man, you really should sign up for premium though, you’ll save yourself a lot of time and energy. That leaves more time to build more guitars. 🤘😁ᾑ...

Hi Boo I could send you some veneer and/or kraft paper to bond on the sides of the recess if that would help.

Ahhhhh...... Something was out obviously and the neck is now a tiny bit loose in the pocket. Is there anything I can do to make it much tighter?

@94dodgedude I took off a little too much meat though, so I'll have to go back and deepen my truss rod channel We've all been there and there's always a fix, (apart from the rare occasion that its ...

@94dodgedude Any thoughts on this or any better ideas of how to route out a truss rod channel on a neck that's already cut to shape? I made a jig to cut my truss rod slot, not because I cut the nec...

That jig looks like a neat way of overcoming the problem. I'd probably put an extra nut on the end of the bolts - as big a nut as I could find - to spread the pressure over a wider area, and I'd also ...

@94dodgedude Hey dude, jumping in at the deep end, eh? Don’t feel too bad, we‘ve all done it in one way or another... Cutting out your truss rod slot is definitely going to be harder than it needed to...

I would strongly advise that you sign up on the course...even just for a month could help a lot. If you do things in the wrong order you can make your life A LOT more difficult (maybe almost impossibl...

@94dodgedude Scared to router out the nice neck after the tear out now. It's coming on well. Take your time with the router, little cuts at a time and stop short of the sharp corners. I was alread...

Hi there! My name is Peter and I "play" guitar from my teenage days which were some time ago. Couple years ago I discovered woodworking and I made quite a lot furniture for my house and I was looking ...
