lowe9 Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 With the neck through blanks available through stew mac and carvin, is it possible to construct the guitar with a neck angle so a tune o matic bridge can be used? I was thinking that the body wings would have to be glued on an angle, but wouldn't that created a weird gap on the bottom of the guitar? as well, is it possible to put a bookmatched figured wood top on, i reason this would require routing the top, but how would one route around the neck?

GuitarMaestro Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 You need a neck blank that is thicker than the wings for this job. Then you can glue the wings on with an angle and sand the neck blank to be even with the wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Luthier Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I heard the stewmac and carvin thru-neck blanks are the same, and they don't have an angle. I think they are maple, so you could put a cap on the back of the blank to make up for the extra thickness required for the angle the wings would be at. but how would one route around the neck? You'd have to make up a jig to hold your templates up above the fingerboard, I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
