ray Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 just wondering how you guys/guyettes cut your pockets i have cut mine pretty tight in the builds i have done [workin on number 5 now] and i have trouble getting the neck in after the finish is on even though I mask up the neck pocket after its sealed. i end up have to sand a bit to make em fit which is a PIA I got some sets of templates [ronkim and guitarbuildingetc.com] ronkims seem nice and tight but the GBT.com ones seem pretty loose fit around a mil either side of a standard neck...i got the pocket template from stewmac and it was pretty loose fit as well....a bit more than the thickness of finish i reckon so how do you cut em loose, tight ???

Acousticraft Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) Ideally the neck should push in snugly and be tight enough to stay in place without the screws. Certainly you dont want to have to sand them every time. When you seal the pocket it stands the grain up so that will make it tighter.
