RE: Guitar #2 (Summer 2022 Project) Truss rod is installed and fretboard is glued down. This time I rounded the end of the fillet at the heel end so there's no open gap. Attachment : 20220723_183345.jpg Attachment : 20220723_... |

RE: Guitar #2 (Summer 2022 Project) @robin I've compared the neck to the fretboard and the board is a bit wider. Your suggestion of blending the joint while carving sounds much better than scrapping the whole thing. After my last post I... |

RE: Guitar #2 (Summer 2022 Project) @wayne_f I think Mark did a video on how to route a truss rod slot after the neck has been profiled. Search through the utube videos I’m sure you will find it. You could glue a veneer shim on the sho... |

RE: Guitar #2 (Summer 2022 Project) After routing the profile of the neck I noticed that the truss rod slot looked a little off. The template must have been off center. Now it seems like the neck is a little too narrow at the nut end. ... |

RE: Guitar #2 (Summer 2022 Project) Decided to go with hardtail bridge again instead of the tremolo (next time). I have the plan drawn out and the body template cut. Attachment : 20220622_184451crop.jpg |

RE: Guitar #2 (Summer 2022 Project) Hi @wayne_f I tend to agree about the angle of the string from the nut to the tuner due to the wide headstock. If there is too much friction on the string in the nut slot this can make tuning, and sta... |

RE: Guitar #2 (Summer 2022 Project) Yeah, I expected the angle to be the main criticism. It's my take on the Dean style 3X3 design which they use for almost half of their catalog. I swear there was another brand that did this as well bu... |

RE: Guitar #2 (Summer 2022 Project) So long as the tuner posts don’t get in the way of the next string, from a practical point of view, it will do just fine. The design is definitely different and I like that. It’s unusual and perhaps n... |

RE: Guitar #2 (Summer 2022 Project) @wayne_f I tend to agree with Robin, trying to make the taper inwards on the end and make the headstock edges follow those lines.Nice idea ! |
