Ok, so I decided to go for a scarf joint this time... it was my first scarf joint ever and already had a mistake calculating the length of the headstock, got it 8 mm shorter than planned...
Cutting that piece of maple was not easy, had to make some corrections in the way...
I've made a jig for this purpose. Next time I'll think on adding some stops to avoid touching the jig with the router bit.
But it worked very well...
After some sanding, I got perfect flat surfaces, ready to glue.
Not sure what's easier, the scarf joint or the laminated way... laminated necks look cooler, but scarf joint requires less wood.
Thanks, I'll do it like so...
Yes, there are two... Gabon Ebony and Crelicam Ebony. I like the blank itself, but not sure if it's going to be "too much", and not sure about the combination with the rosewood top... we will see.
Thanks for watching!
