PRSpoggers Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Hey yall, I am building a neck for the first time and I am excited to share that I finally got my template! I'm using a 57 strat shape from stew mac and a 62 strat neck profiler (to make the actual neck) from stewmac as well. I also got a truss rod as well. I went to harbor freight and got a moisture gauge (surprisingly my wood that I got, which is white limba and honduran rosewood is so dry!) and a mat to work on and planer for planing my wood!

I got a windsor design number 33 plane with two handles. I also got a little moisture gauge just to check to see if the wood is dry. It's very dry!

curtisa Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Straight in the deep end with the hand plane. Easiest tool in the world to use, one of the hardest to tune and keep sharp. They're rewarding to use when they're set up right, though. There's a certain zen about adjusting a handplane to take off the thinnest of shavings.

A longer one might also be good especially for leveling necks and fretboards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
