gilsolomon Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hi everyone, I have a question. I am starting a new project involving a fender style neck (straight headstock and not angled). I'd like to add these decorations usually added on scarf joints. Has anyone tried these on a straight neck? How will it fare in terms of strength? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightroExpress Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 So let me if I'm understanding your goal correctly: essentially, you're cutting the scarf angle, inserting an accent laminate, and regluing the short piece in its original orientation rather than flipping it to achieve an angled headstock. You won't have any strength issues, but it seems to be a lot of work to end up with a straight headstock. Unless your original blank is too short...

gilsolomon Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 That is correct. My aim is basically cosmetic in doing that. I really like the accent laminate thing (now I know the term so thanks for that as well.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightroExpress Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'm not sure if it's the 100% correct term, but that's what I would call it. Make sure to post a thread when you build it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
