Setch Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Like a Fender style with a skunk stripe and no separate fretboard? That's covered well in 'MYOEG'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikbojerik Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I made one for my doubleneck strat....well, two actually, but I had to bandsaw off one of the fretboard surfaces after screwing up the fret slots. The 1-piece neck is the 6, made out of flame maple. It is the fussiest neck I've ever used, it required a lot of tweeking with the rod to get it right, and I've had to do it a couple of times since. The 2-piece neck (back + fretboard) on the 12 is rock-solid, barely had to do anything with the rod. And all the wood for both necks came from the same plank, so I don't think it has anything do to with seasoning or drying-out. I'll never make a 1-piece neck again. If I were you, I'd just inlay a skunk stripe into the blank and put a fretboard on top (maple on maple, or whatever). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdguitars Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 my thoughts are to take a 3/4 neck blank route out the back about 1/2 down 1/4 wide then add a back snunk stripe walnut or something. do the rear route all the way down to the heel. Then work from there? wanted to see if anyone else has done it. I have a real nice piece of maple to use and I will practice on some scrap first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I've never seen this anywhere, so I don't know if anyone's done it. How about cutting off the fretboard area of a neck blank, do the truss rod rout, then glue the sawed off plank back on? You'd have the look of a one piece neck (sans skunk stripe), but (I think) better stability like a two piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdguitars Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 nah thats no fun. I want to do it the fender way. I have never seen a 1 piece tutorial. I will have to read the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 It's in the book. Just looked at it last night. Doesn't look like much fun to me ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenhoneywell Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Gordon Smith Guitars (uk) ahve come up a way to do a true one piece neck for a f***er type guitar (no "skunk strip"). Unfortuately he won't reveal how he does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
