De Trepagny Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Does anyone know were i can get some info about carbon fiber neck. I'm searching specs for laminate thickness, how they are build (construction), hi modulus or low modulus, carbon/carbon or epoxy/carbon? I know that Modulus have a patent on the concept, but i want to made one for me. Philippe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 If they've got a patent, do a patent search. It's gonna be expensive if you don't have the tooling, and you will very likely have to do a bunch of experimenting before you get it right.

If we can build guitar with rasps and jig saw we can do anything C/f is expensive but for a neck you can put 50$can for the material... and a another 50$ for a strong fiberglass mold. If you know a friend with a vacuum pump you're in buisness Philippe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psw Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Hi there... check out this thread, unfortunatly the pics have gone but there are detail ideas and links on making a composite neck. There have been a few discussions related to using alternative materials, try searching carbon in all forum areas to see more stuff. Welcome to PG and good luck with that... pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryovanni Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 I don't know if this will help much, but there are some links to suppliers for these types of materials on a topic I started regarding composite soundboards. Links are about 1/2 way down the page. topic Peace,Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to PG and good luck with that... pete Sorry, but i can't see this thread (no links) but i'll search "carbon" on this forum. Thanks fryovanni for the links, it's a realy interesting discution on composite. I will complete my brother's project (a mahogany telecaster) and by the end of the summer i'll began my master model for my carbon project. I work as a modelmaker for the aerospace industry so it's a inevitable project! thanks for your help! Philippe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I will need some advice on how to work with these new materials. Now I know who to pester with my rookie questions.

skibum5545 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I work as a modelmaker for the aerospace industry so it's a inevitable project! Well, I guess that answers the question of whether or not you have the tools for such an undertaking! I'm really looking forward to seeing this one play out. Good luck!

ToneMonkey Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 You can definately do carbon fibre at home. I think it goes along the same lines as glasss fibre, when I was researching it I came accross a guy that made a bike frame at home. I don't think it goes he same as commercial CF as there was no pressure cooking involved. Don't have the link anymore, sorry dude. This place is good though: http://www.fibreglast.com/contentpages-mai...Center-283.html Good luck and keep us infomed on progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psw Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Doh...what happened there...hahaha Looks as if I didn't push the button to post the link. Here it is (I hope) Carbon Fibre Neck Thread... Shame the photos have gone, but there is a lot of test, so you will get the idea...it is hidden in the acoustic section. hope that helps... pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
