westhemann Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 would it help to rout the neck pocket before you cut the body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem7RB UK Posted November 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 I dunno Wes,As you maybe aware the guitar actually sits at an angle to the neck Althou comfy,I can't get my head round it,I have enough trouble doing a standard RG type body Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 oh...well you could rout the pocket flat and angle the neck heel.that's what i would do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 first off don't cut out the horns or around the neck pocket until u've routed or ur template won't have anything to line up with and sit on. To get the angle just put a couple of shims under the body side of the template to angle it by the correct amount you're looking for, when u rout you'll transfer that angle into the depth of the pocket.

Scott Rosenberger Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Doesn't the neck pocket just appear angles because of the airfoil shap of the body? I mean, if the body was a uniform thickness wouldn't the neck pocket be parallel to the top of the body? If that's the case, the rout the neck pocket first the shape the body thickness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 i can't see a neck angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saber Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 I think only the neck plate is at an angle but the neck is not. We can see this on the body blueprint that was posted recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkle Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Hi, I was the one who drew the plans. The neck joint on the 540R that I based the plans on is a traditional plate style (not AANJ) but the heel is a little recessed, and it is angled so its even thinner at the high-E side. don't know if this is like the JS, but I'd be happy to take some pics. -Sven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem7RB UK Posted November 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 It's ok dude,i have a JS1000 neck,which is non AANJ which i believe all JS's are the square type ? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Yep, it's the same as on mine. No AANJ. http://www.ibanezrules.com/catalogs/us/1999/99017.jpg My drawings show it accurately. There is no neck angle on the guitar. It looks at first like the neck is "twisted" in the neck pocket, but it is actually only the mounting plate that is not parallel to the back of the guitar. http://www.speakeasy.org/~sven/site/radius.html I'll take a few pics today and post 'em. -Sven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
