No apology necessary Mark, best wishes and take as long as you need.

Yes please Darren, I would love one!

@tv, could be. I made the neck pocket template quite long. I then put the neck in position and the fit the neck pocket jig over the top and slid it back along the body until it was tight against the n...

Well done Cheesewhisk, looks great so far.

Thanks again, I will get some pics when I get some proper time in the Garage, I’ll be working in the garden this week I reckon.

@boo......I think that if the neck pocket template and the neck taper template are made from the same plan, which mine were, then it should be possible to move the neck pocket template slightly rearwa...

I had a quick play with it today and I think it’s about .35mm out each side. I had ago at veneers off the bandsaw and without trying too hard got a couple at .58mm. So should be able to glue something...

I wondered if also what you could do is get the template on position and then, as it's tapered, move it back say 5mm (That's just a guess at this stage) and then rout. I have tried tape on another tem...

@darrenking, thanks for the offer of veneers, I’ll remember for next time, got some on order for now, very kind though.

@boo, I think this is what I’ll try as the gap is small and when I fit the neck on centre there is a gap both sides! Annoying but I suppose it was going to happen at some point! I am going to get some...

@rocknroller. Thanks for the reply, the template for the pocket is tapered and long so should fit somewhere along it’s length. I positioned and repositioned to make sure it was right.....but still the...

Got the control cavity cover routed and fitted. Just before I made the neck pocket too wide! Attachment : 20210326_123100.jpg

Looks great. Routers the fastest way to a cock up. Love and hate em!

Thanks Robin, I’ll give that ago too. Ordered some veneer in case. It was cheap so no harm done.

There’s loads on flea bay I’ll give that a try, but thanks all.....might try and bandsaw my own!

Thanks Tv haven’t measured but I’d be surprised if it’s as much as .5mm either side.

I need to get some veneers to fix my loose neck pocket fec up. Where do people get their veneers from please? Thanks all.

Take all the time you need, we’ll still be here with lots of questions I am sure. Best wishes.

Darren that is one good looking guitar. The fit looks great and the attention to detail is fantastic - well done. Yeah go for Pink that'll suit it!

That’s a nice looking guitar, well done.
