USMCHueston0311 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hey guys quick question I used my Mykas neck pocket variant, and have achieved a slightly tight neck pocket, but the tenon doesnt sit all the way where it supposed to because the neck tenon has square corners, but my neck pocket has rounded corners. Will the neck become tighter when its able to sit where it is supposed to? also how do you fix this problem? will it be easier to round the neck, or square up the pocket? please help.

orgmorg Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Rounding the corners of the tenon is easiest. However, when the tenon goes fully into the pocket, it will be a hair looser because of the taper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCHueston0311 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 I figured it would be tighter since it was scooted all the way forward when the template was locked down, and now it sits like 2/8 from where it was routed to because of the corners. Shouldnt it tighten up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juntunen Guitars Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 If it's already tight probably not. If it was going to be a really tight joint to begin with you wouldn't have been able to fit the tenon in now unless it was forced becasue it wouldn't be lined up in the correct spot so you would be trying to fit a wider section into a smaller space.
