kaisentomy Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hi to all, I'm planning to do a home made guitar, and I would really like to do it with a Deep Set Neck Tenon. I've read a lot of good comments on it and I will give it a try!. here is the link of some of those pages with good comments about: http://www.edromanguitars.com/newsite/tech.../neck_tenon.htm I really like the PRS style guitars, and I think that will be my goal at this time. The first question would be: where can I buy a "Ready to install" fretted Deep Set Neck, just like the strat styles and so many other that you can find in Stewmac.com and Warmooth etc?. And the second question would be, where can I get some kind of plans of the guitar body, (PRS Style)? Thanks to all the comments that you could gave me, TR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 No, and please take everything Ed Roman says with a spoonful or two of salt. Good for your own mental health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six_stringer Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I don't know any place that sells the neck that you want. However, you can buy a Carvin neck through and modify the end to suit your needs. I built my fourth guitar with a deep set tenon and a bookmatched top and it turned out rather nice. The studs go into the deep set tenon and it has good sustain. Is it better than a regular tenon, bolt on or bolt in? My opinion is that it is just another way to do it. If you go with the Carvin neck through you can add wings and be done or add wings and plane the top so you can add a bookmatched top to it. Good Luck, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I don't make a habit of actively promoting my work in the forum here, but I what you seek is exactly what I do. You'll see my web site listed in with the suppliers link from the PG home page. You can get a neck made your way. -Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 What you are asking is almost exactly what I did. http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...6&hl=prsish Just with a longer tenon. You don't need it that long, but it is a matter of taste. You can get templates at http://guitarbuildingtemplates.com/ and get the neck from Doug!
