  1. DONT THINK IM STOOPID! I am new to building guitar necks. Does anybody have any hints or tips for using the Warmoth steel rods? Do you install them in-line with the truss rod or do you install them parallel to the neck edges? I am trying to build a 5-String bass guitare with a 5 strip laminated wood neck. Thanks, Brian
  2. Jon, Thaks for the reply and good summary of what the difference is between Gorilla Glue and Titebond. I will keep my Gorilla glue for special needs and will buy some Titebond today for the general wood to wood bonding. Regards, Brian
  3. So what is the benefit / advantage of Titebond over Gorilla Glue? I am just about to start building my first guitar and have a small bottle of the Gorilla glue. I just wanted to know what to watch out for. Please advise. Thanks, Brian
  4. OK Here are some other areas for the actual calculations: [url="http://home.hiwaay.net/~jehle/"]http://home.hiwaay.net/~jehle/[/url] (Goto Download section for excel spreadsheets) [url="http://www.buildyourguitar.com/index.html"]http://www.buildyourguitar.com/index.html[/url] (Go to /resources/ and /tips/ pages for fretboard SHAPE calculator which ties into the string spacing look as well) If all else fails ...go to Stewmac: [url="http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Nuts,_saddles/Measuring_tools/1/String_Spacing_Rule.html"]http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Nuts,_saddles/...acing_Rule.html[/url] Regards, Brian
  5. Here is a link to a calculator that I found. I am looking for something similar for a 5 string bass guitar, so it did not help me. [url="http://www.guitarrasjaen.com/English%20Version/EquispacingCalculator.htm"]http://www.guitarrasjaen.com/English%20Ver...gCalculator.htm[/url] LINK TEXT: <http://www.guitarrasjaen.com/English%20Version/EquispacingCalculator.htm> If anybody knows of something like that, please submit links. Take it easy, Brian
  6. Please post any decent links where there are guitar plans or CAD libraries of guitar components that can be used to design guitars. Here is a good one that I found: http://www.liutaiomottola.com/ Go to CAD, CAM and CNC A link with some guitar drawings is: http://www.guitarbuild.com/ See the downloads link Thanks, Brian
