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 ...
Rough cut on the bandsaw.
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 Yeah, they were an after thought but I think they suit the guitar down to the ground. They actually sound and play well too. I wasn’t sure if th...
@clinton Thanks man. I like making more elaborate and challenging guitars to improve my skills but there is also a challenge to make a simple guitar w...
@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...
