westhemann Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 hmm. Do the glued on wings have the angled cut too. yes,of course they do trace out your body shape on posterboard,center the actual neck on top of it,trace the angled line of the neck on it,then use that to make a template for the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Jabsco Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 well, remember the truss rod. And the acid thing. dont konw if its true, but it may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 the center laminate of a neck is pretty important...and red oak is crap from what i have seen...use a dense and stable hardwood such as bubinga,mahogany,maple...really alot of woods will work just fine without risking the neck stability on your NECK THROUGH guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
