There I was, tidying up my shed, wondering what I was going to do today. Next thing I know I have a body blank glued up! Oh well. guess I'll just have to build a guitar I suppose 🤣 Going fo...

I never thought I’d say this, but - Happy Days 🙂

@jamesbisset He said on the live he did on carving the neck. Initial facets are about a 3rd in at the heel then run the line down the neck with your finger aginst the side. Then about the fretboard th...

@nsj Because my sides aren’t profiled yet (and squint after the fingerboard mishap) I measured the facets 14.66mm out from the new centerline and then nudged them a couple of mm to the thumb side. But...

@jamesbisset That initial carve, instead of a 1/3 in on both sides, go in a 1/4 on one side and a 1/3 on the other. Or do a 1/3 in on each side at the nut then alter it further up. Is it musicman who ...

Thanks for the recommendations and encouragement folks. I’ve decided to go on with the neck as it is. This is my first ever full build and it’s effectively a prototype. I’d rather keep going and accum...

Hi James, take it off and start again. You’ll spend more time trying to compensate all the other parts than if you just strip the fretboard off and glue another one on in the right place. Going with a...

@jamesbisset I once removed a bridge that was glued with Titebond type glue from a factory guitar using a domestic iron and some brown paper. Heat does soften the glue but you have to be patient and ...

@jamesbisset if a replacement fretboard isn't a problem then yeh, I'd go with getting it off even if it got ruined. With factory fretboards I've managed to remove a couple but titebond seems proper ...

And - before you make your next mistake - check with Bill first.

I agree with @Boo. Firstly because it'd mean more work for James, but secondly (and, TBH, the main reason) because you want to do the job right if possible, and this isn't too hard to fix. I'd remove ...

If I could rescue the neck and get a replacement fingerboard that might be the way forward. If I don’t, I still have to clean up the fingerboard edge where it almost got stuck to the caul. But of cour...

I would see how things line up as in can you still make the neck to the shape you intended. I haven't had much luck separating titebond glued things. Tend to cause more harm than good.

I used Titebond Original. Thing is, technically, the only thing that’s going to be squint is the tuner holes. The neck hasn’t been profiled and the body hasn’t been built yet, so everything with the ...

@boo Ive learned the hard way

@rocknroller912 Smart arse! 😂

@jamesbisset I know I’m a smart ass being wise after the event but I use water based glue for anything I might want to remove.

I asked GPTChat too: If you've glued your guitar fingerboard to the neck, and it's misaligned, there are a few things you can try to fix the issue: Remove the fingerboard: This is...

I would be tempted to heat up the board and remove it, 1.5mm is a lot I think. You could redraw your centre line but it will throw the nut out as well and may cause a problem with the strings leaving ...

I glued and clamped the fingerboard to the neck yesterday. This morning, after taking the clamps and caul off, I find the fingerboard has twisted off axis by about 1.5mm. I reckon it happened like th...
