WAK Guitars Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi everybody. I did a search but I cannot find a thread on building a 1 piece maple strat neck. These are the necks where the fretboard and rest of the neck are one piece and they have the walnut fillet in the back. Are there any good tutorials or thread on building this kind of neck? The main difference between this and building a rosewood strat neck would be installing the truss rod right? Anyway, if any of you guys know where I might find a thread like this or a site that explains it that would be great! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Doesn't the Hiscock book have a one piece Tele style neck in one of the builds? The steps would be the same, with the headstock and heel shape different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiki Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) well, I did a 1 piece neck, but not of maple, it's in pau-marfin, that it's a bit similar. with a skunk stripe of ipe. It was my first project, so don't take it so seriously, but i believe it can be useful to you. in this page are all the information about, the plans, the gears, etc. http://www.kiyoto.xpg.com.br/telecaster/ but it's in portuguese, sorry. this is the link directly to the neck part: http://www.kiyoto.xpg.com.br/telecaster/ex...ecucao_bra.html that in portuguese we call "braço" (arm) inspite neck. If you have any doubt about anything in my project, ask me, and I'll try to explain it in english! I created a topic to my tele, it's here: http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=34282 I think in the martin koch's book "building electric guitars" there was something about this kind of neck, I'm not sure. I hope it can help you! Edited January 30, 2008 by kiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
