Why are people even bothering with the fillet? It's not necessary with a modern truss rod. @jonhodgson There is something very neat and elegant about putting the fillet in and it does save excess gl...

Why are people even bothering with the fillet? It's not necessary with a modern truss rod.

@tej Thats what I did, a fill in strip to raise the depth where I was making it deeper for the adjusting nut. Necks are laminated anyway so it should be ok. I also had bad side tear out so cut a patch...

It’s not as hard as you might think. @rocknroller that’s the daft thing, my test run on scrap was great! Indeed I know I can fix it, there was a strip of mahogany included with the blank which is spo...

@tej Dont worry, my test run on an old neck blank of not very good quality was so bad I’m not even going to share it. I went too deep in one spot also but hand fitted a patch or two, using an off cut ...

@russ I know but they’re all just down to carelessness, never worked on wood that mattered before so a little frustrated at myself, as you say though it’s all learning. Going to fix things in the morn...

It's all a learning experience @tej. Hang on in there. 👍😁 🙏🎶🎸🙂

Sperzel locking tuners can be converted from right-handed to left in a jiffy.........

@tv101 Cheers tv. I'll check it out. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Posted by: @boo @russ Here you go and there are probably more out there. I've always found axetec's stuff to be pretty good quality / VFM (with special mention to their incredibly good VFM picku...

@boo Thank you for that Boo. Much appreciated. Cheers, Russ 🎶🙏🙂🎸

@russ Just remember that L doesn’t mean left handed or R doesn’t mean right handed. Imagine you are looking at a guitar when it is on a guitar stand. Look at the tuners. If, like a right handed Strat...

@russ Here you go and there are probably more out there.

Do you think it would be possible to replicate this look using 6L machine heads or would you have to mix and match with left and right ones? @russ You can buy a set of mixed tuners in that configura...

@robin Cheers Robin. It's good to know that it can be done. 😎 😆 👍
