@tej I suspect it's a combination of1) fretboards are usually a tight grained wood 2) He wipes it off straight away Obviously try it for yourself on a piece of scrap first if you can, but I don't thin...

@jonhodgson that makes sense, where I didn’t screw it up the superglue has worked perfectly and I would tempted to go the same route again but I seing whips to be more precise than how I did it. I wat...

Wood glue is much easier to cleanup than superglue, so long as you do it as you're going along, a damp rag will do it. That's why Ben Crowe has abandoned the superglue approach, I've seen him do both ...

In my experience with woodworking, the "v" that you file in the fret slot is there to make it so there are no "unsupported" grain if you need to remove the fret. The fact that the fret ends are pushed...

I’m yet to see or indeed hear any proof of anything like that from wood choice to construction techniques etc that make a human detectable difference to the amplified sound from the pickups. On the o...

@koendb thanks for the rundown, I’d agree that claims of tonal improvement from filling the gaps are significant on an electric guitar are unlikely. I’m yet to see or indeed hear any proof of anything...

so key question from your second build, what was the difference? Good question 🙂I did pay a lot more attention to details and used a slot depth gauge to make sure all the frets where slotted at the s...

@koendb, so key question from your second build, what was the difference?

Wood glue with a syringe would be no more messy then superglue I think?I only have built 2 necks myself so far, so my experience is pretty limited. In both builds, I also filed in a slight V shape in ...

I’ll be installing the frets shortly but am interested in peoples’ experiences here. Now there seem a number of different approaches with some techniques focussed on making life easy if frets ever nee...

I’ve made a bit more progress now, fixed the sloping truss rod channel by routing to the lowest depth and glueing in a strip to the base of the slot. Angled the headstock, thicknesses it and rough cut...

20mm is a little tight so gonna add another half on. Rod was actually 9mm with callipers so most of it is routed to 10.5mm and the bit for the adjuster is at 12.5mm depth with the wider bit. Used the ...

Opted to do a test on scrap, now have half a beautiful pine neck. It’ll be on eBay soon, don’t all rush at once. 20mm is a little tight so gonna add another half on. Rod was actually 9mm with calliper...

Here we go 🙂 This is the truss rod I have which gets quite big at one end: Attachment : 51148BFE-5B5F-4AD1-AEA1-E12068AD7BD6.jpeg @markbailey, or anyone else for that matter! The video ...

What’s the difference? I always thought they were two names for the same thing and a quick goofle search seems to confirm that... @mattbeels I’ve no idea it just wasn’t clear! I’ll watch that video t...

@mattbeels Probably the best explanation of various truss rod types I've come across, from a friend of the channel.

@tej What’s the difference? I always thought they were two names for the same thing and a quick goofle search seems to confirm that...

Stalled at the start line, so after deciding to go with the longer fretboard I needed a new longer truss rod, it arrived this morning but was the wrong one. I’d assumed “double action” what the same a...

I quite like it though! @tej I like it too, it’s asymmetrical now but there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a different beast but it look balanced and I bet it would be really ergonomic to play. I do...

The adjusted horns based on Marks suggestion, going to leave it for today and see what I think in the morning I reckon, I quite like it though! Attachment : 84E9D52A-4EA9-4D6E-B072-946A5AE84522.jp...
