@koendb v4 for me 😬 If you still had an asymmetrical end but took the curve from the lower wing through the neck end into the top wing I think that might look best, to me at least. So it would...

mighty quiet in here of late!? Yes it is really quiet the last couple of weeks. I guess life is catching up again 🙂

@koendb I think what doesn’t sit right is the curve into the flat end of the neck then the angled take off on the top wing, it doesn’t look intentional. Hard to explain where I’m coming from here. Had...

I’d make the angle the top wing comes off the bridge end of the through neck more shallow, it looks a bit harsh to me which doesn’t quite work when the other wing smoothly curves. @Tej thx for the co...

@koendb like it! A couple of points, personally I’d make the angle the top wing comes off the bridge end of the through neck more shallow, it looks a bit harsh to me which doesn’t quite work when the ...

This is what I came up with reshaping an existing plan Attachment : NeckTrough-1.png

I’ve only ever owned 25.5” scale guitars, I tried to play as SG copy that had a shorter scale length and simply couldn’t play anything well at all, felt very alien everything being that little bit out...

@cheesewhisk The volume looks ok to me it’s far enough away from the 1st fret not to interfere with playing.

I think the issue really is down to the wonky fretboard alignment so the neck ended up slimmer than it should have been. The beauty of the jig is that this wouldn't matter. You don't machine the body...
