Very nice @nsj

@nsj  That burl guitar looks amazing. @tv101hindsight is fantastic though isn’t it? So useful! NOT! Lol I once told an old managing director that my ambition was to develop my foresight to be as good as his hindsight. It didn’t…   Read more»

@nsj I had 2 planes (No4 and a 9 1/2 type of block plane ) for the last 2 years, now I suddenly have 38 😬 😎

Very nice Neil. Did you draw it out by hand. Very neat lines and curves. I’m trying to do some designs but I’m using compasses and french curves. My freehand drawing skills are not the best.

@nsj  I was wondering what the advantages of a roasted maple neck would be, so did a bit of googling too and came up with this, https://myguitarlair.com/roasted-maple-guitar-neck/   Improves tone of the wood (clearer and richer) Better tuning stability and intonation….   Read more»

@nsj I’m now thinking about a possible steel barrel or such that I can suck the air out of and stick on a bed of hot embers, put something inside to support the maple. I think it’s generally done under…   Read more»

, I don’t have all these router jigs like some people lol

Have a wee break from making guitars and make some jigs, its just as much fun.

Nice work @nsj! I like it

@nsj
🤣😂. It certainly will Neil.

@nsj The segment I’m talking about is part of another video or class. I remember it as an alternative way for installing the neck and it kinda makes it look like a neck-thru. Oh well, I’ll keep looking. @tv1 isn’t…   Read more»

You’re in Scotland @boo??
Well, you kept that quiet
🤣 🤣 🤣 
 

I like the curves on that design @nsj – I can’t do anything quite like that on this build, but I had something similar in mind.
Also really like the fact that you use proper cavity covers on your builds!!

Spot on @NSJ. I used a standard Tele plan as the core for the CNC design, and the standard plan assumed a standard 4…   Read more»

Ok operation new neck is under way, the decision has been made.

Look on the bright side, you get to do one of the fun parts again. I think carving the neck is my favourite part of guitar making.

Hi Neil,
I’ve just had a wee look at your YouTube videos. You’ve been very productive since you started during lockdown. You’ve got a definite knack for this guitar building malarkey…….and the videos are very entertaining too. 
🙏🎸🎶🙂

@nsj I would personally go with what @russ said. Wood movement is common but I would not want to introduce more water into it. It was more likely that it was just some internal tension in the wood. With my…   Read more»

@nsj Can I fix this? Is it worth it? Is it likely to just remain an unstable piece of wood? I made the cap for my first build from a piece of warped mahogany that had been the floor from…   Read more»

@nsj Hi Neil, did you get the wood from a reputable tonewood supplier or a reputable timber merchant? You can get great bargains from timber merchants but the pieces may need to be left longer to dry out.  Almost everything…   Read more»
