GoodWood Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Im going to rout my single action channel, but my Library copy of Kinkeads book is missing the blueprints. The body to nut length is 14.25 inches. How long does the channel stay strait? And at what depth does start at and end up at? I am building a curved router guide like he has, although not as heavy duty. Also does anyone have an old set of Kinkead Blueprints they would sell for $5.oo? Im using a single action LMI rod. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) Sorry, I'm keeping my blueprints. Depth of neck (fb surface to back) 1-1/4" from nut (1st fret?) is 53/64" (21 mm) Depth of neck 9 - 1/8" from nut is 29/32" (23 mm) Depth of trussrod slot 7 -1/4" from nut is 15/32" (12 mm) -assuming thats the deepest spot FB thickness is 9/32" (7 mm) Remaining wood thickness behind truss rod slot midway is 1/8" (3mm) Those are all the neck mesurements on my plans, hope that helps.

Thanks Southpaw, - how about the depth of the truss rod slot by the nut? What does it end up at? I guess I can just slope a curved line Cumpliano uses a double action, of course.

Southpa Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) Remember these prints are for an acoustic with the truss rod adjustment inside the guitar and the anchor block situated 1/4" from the nut. Are you building the exact same guitar? Otherwise you will have to work things out in a similar manner, just make sure you don't get too close to the back of the neck. If you have your LMI truss rod on hand you will have to make your measurements accordingly . Truss rod at the headstock end should be about at the middle depth of the neck. I'd say the slot is about 3/8" deep there. The truss rod does not pass through the exact center of the anchor, its (the anchor) assymmetrical with the short end underneath and long end flush to the neck surface.

Ok, thanks, the LMI rod looks like it has a '90' degree bend in it as an anchor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
