Mattia Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Depends what you prefer. In like trimming the board to size, gluing it on a slightly oversized neck, and using hand tools to fair in the curve. Others do it differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazzled Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Ya, many ways to skin a cat! I like cutting my neck taper then gluing my slotted but not radiused fretboard on. That way I can flip it upside down and use the neck as a template of sorts with my router (with follower bit). Then radiusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously there are many ways and most of them work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
