I’ve made the decision to route past the end of the fretboard, into the headstock instead of drilling a hole.
Once marked out, I set my router up for routing the truss rod slot. The adjustment end of the truss rod is slightly wider than the rest of it so I hav...
Here you can see I used applied a Gibson style nut instead of the usual Fender style.
@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...
@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 eyeba...

@markbailey Yep, it’s always you that brings me down to earth again and of course you are right. The last few builds I did from in my head, not from a...
@clinton Oh my mistake, I knew you had done a bass version but I though you had done a baritone as well, I must be getting you mixed up with someone e...
@marcel Yep it definitely looks like you all had a good time. Your bass playing sounds great. 👍
@clinton Hey Clinton, can I ask you about building a baritone version of this guitar, someone has expressed an interest. If I remember rightly, you...
