Thanks Darren

Hi Seth, I am afraid that you have to ditch the fretboard and start again. 1mm out will be easily detectable and given how much work the rest of the guitar is going to take it would be crazy to carry ...

Yes its off by 1mm. I measured with a little $9 angle-izer.

Without getting my trig tables out, I don’t know the answer to this ... but I’m guessing that a 1deg error across the width of a fretboard is less than a 1mm error? How did you manage to measure a 1de...

Hi everyone, just started my first build, i was cutting the fret slots by hand and some of the slots are off by 1°. Is there a tolerance? Is there anything I can do, or is this fret board destined fo...

I should sort myself out and get some necks made. You’re missing out on the best part @TV1010101 and looking at youkre other work you should sail through the process ??

I’ve found that if I make one neck after the other and try and make them all the same, it reinforces the processes in my memory and develops my practical skills/techniques, and boosts my confidence wi...

@johnnierox-boo nice work mate. I like the guitar with the blue inlay. cheers

@eddie6string I like your "CR8" that looks good. I quite like the idea of a whisky barrel top body and trying to keep the original print.

In the spirit of building my fisrt guitar from scrap wood, I'm still searching for a bit of suitable neck timber. In my past working days we used a wood called Keruing for truck body floors. Any thoug...

@darrenking Thanks for the advice Darren, I'll certainly check the grain. All I know so far is that it's 144x33.5x1880mm, so I should get something useful out of that.
