Neck Timber Sizes


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have got the Martin Koch book/CD and have got some timber for my neck that is a bit bigger than what he said, but I can easily get it cut to the right shape. My uncle is a carpenter and is doing all the thickness sanding and alike for me at his work. One of the guys there makes guitars in a big way and said that the sizes I have for the neck are a bit off (haven't actually spoken to him yet, so I'm not entirely sure what exactly is wrong).

I was just wondering what you all have as minimum dimensions for a neck.

It will be 25" scale, bolt on or glue in, with an angled headstock...

I'm just getting some info, so I can work out why something would be wrong with the measurements..

Thanks all in advance for your help! :D

This is not a straight forward answer. Basically, you need enough wood to make what your building, but that could be with or without a scarf joint, maybe a bolt-on or set neck (or through neck), etc etc etc
