I have two router tear outs and both of them are on the back side of the headstock. I was thinking about repairing them but I’m just going to sand and blend them into the shape instead. If I was build...

Time to remove the template/pattern and the neck from the worktop, CAREFULLY! 😆 Attachment : 9AA69C89-975B-44D5-822D-333D49655C58.jpeg Attachment : 0545031C-CC97-4035-BE3D-D17546D79...

I have a routing pattern/template for a Strat neck and instead of using it for routing these necks, I’ve made another template from it. I’ll keep the original as a master to make more when I inevitabl...

Rough cut on the bandsaw. Attachment : EE0C0A6C-6DC3-4BC8-B210-B8CCF645267F.jpeg

@russ this particular neck is a hybrid nut construction because at the time I only had a fretboard without a Fender style nut slot. This fretboard was cut for a Gibson/Bandsman style with an angled he...

@russ I haven’t got any photos of when I drilled the truss rod access hole in the headstock. Once I had routed the truss rod slot, all I did was eyeball the hole it with a long drill bit. There is ano...

@russ I made one for this T-type a while ago, same principle to do an S-type at the headstock end. I may have some more photos, I'll have a look.
