MetalOne72 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Quick question, when you all do a set neck (not the typical Gibson style mortise and tenon), do you taper the neck blank to match the finger board prior to the neck joint being cut. If so, do you do this by routing the neck blank to a template? Is there any concern with the tapered joint since the joint is under tension in the direction of the joint loosening? Or is the mortise/tenon rectangular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 The tenon should follow the taper of the entire neck and fretboard. I use a template to cut the taper that continues the full width of the neck blank first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
