whistler Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I am about to start building a Les Paul style guitar but haven't received the plans yet. What is a comfortable size of neck blank to get? I have access to some 3"x3" walnut,( I'm using walnut instead of mahogany for the body and neck) but not much. What is the minimum length I could use? Assuming the piece is in good enough condition that is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainzy Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 3x3 should be enough to get a pair of necks out of if you're careful, length would depend if you're doing a scarf job on the headstocks or not. You might get away with around 25" for a pair of scarf joint headstocked necks, for a pair of one piece necks you might be looking at around 30-33"; I've just done this myself but unfortunately the neck blanks and plans I made are at home where I can't reach them to measure, since I'm away at Uni right now.
