Ok, well, i started to get my neck organised last night: I cut my big chunk of timber into two pieces, that are a bit over half the width of the neck. I have to plane them down and then glue them together....
I can fit the whole neck on, headstock and all, from the one piece...all i'll have to do is glue ears on.
I'm paranoid about mucking the fret slots up, so i got into cad (at work today ) and started....then i couldn't finish, so i took cad home, loaded it up, and this is what i got..
the graphic is really big, because it's hard to make out otherwise, its about 1100x1600 i think, so i'm just warning everyone.
I would appreciate any comments, pointing out of errors, bad points, anything.
As you will probably see, i've copied a few bits here and there..
firstly - Perry, i really liked the volute on the headstock, neck join, so i've kind of copied it - if this is a problem, please tell me and i'll remove it.
it's a very gibson-esqu headstock, but i like them..
the body will be carved (hopefully) to accomodate the neck angle.
And what i forgot to write on the plans...my headstock is 13mm thick.
anyway, have a look and tell me what you think.
800x600
1200x1600
EDIT: it doesn't seem to be linking to the individual photos, just my account, but i'm sure you can figure it out: picture 1 is 800*600, picture 2 is 1200*1600. Bye
Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom!
