A whole new fillet has been cut, fitted and glued!

Looks good @wayne_f. On the next fillet just get it close but not fitting in the slot. Then sand it to the final thickness with a sanding block to get the snug fit you want.

Not much got done today but did I manage to do the rough cut of the neck shape and a fillet for the truss rod slot. That defect I mentioned before (which was the very tip of a shake and only few mm de...

Hey there @wayne_f! Welcome to the forum and great job so far on all you’ve done. 👍

@robin I was planning on doing an oil finish.

Routing the headstock angle revealed a defect exactly at the edge of where the headtock will be. Maybe I can get some grain filler to fix it. @wayne_f It may not be a problem, just keep going and see...

@Wayne_F @robinSomehow that never occurred to me. I could add maybe 1/4" of height and that would probably take care of it. Thank you. I've had a lot of help and advice from this group, I'm glad to ...

@warmvalves Welcome to the forum. There have been instrument making courses in Glasgow for many years but the college names change all the time. This may be the one you are thinking of. There are als...

Welcome @warmvalves! 15.75”? What a weird radius! I wonder what the point was?!? However a 16” radius fret caul will work fine. That 0.25” difference is nothing! A lot of Ibanez necks have a 17” radi...

There's a college near me in Glasgow which offers 8 week guitar maintanance courses (beginner and advanced), so I may look at that for next year - this year's has already started. Anyway, thank you ve...

Thank you very much for the prompt replys Boo and BPower I wouldn't have thought that .25" would make that much difference, but I didn't want to assume so. I am just gathering tools and information to...

I would imagine that the 16" caul would be the one you want. My head says 0.25" over that distance would not be able to be seen and the 16" being a little shallower would push the middle down. And sin...
