    Ive had this problem on 90% of necks ive ever made. Regardless of the method of radiusing, including pre radiused boards. With fretboard glued to the neck, either radiused or flat. 8" sanding block or 20". Fretboard dead flat, with 4 different straight edges. use either long or short sanding block. 5 passes with it, already a hump in the middle. Blocks are flat and straight measured with precision straight edge. I dont understand how people can just clamp a neck to a table, radius with a short block and it be fine. Ive tried so many d ifferent methods to avoid this and none do anything. I have to go back and manually knock down the middle and it takes forever. How do you avoid this and do you have any ideas of why this happens? With a long sanding beam it doenst seem like it should even be possible.

    Here's the next batch of builds. The burl neck will be on a burl king v. The quilt will be a quilt/ burl super strat The flame v had some super crazy grain and I'm contemplating leaving that dur job as the final color.

    I'll definitely start off more basic than a burl table with carved stand haha

    Your carving skills and hand tool skills still blow my mind! Ive been wanting to get into making things other than guitars as well. cant wait to see the rest of it scotty!

    Thank you scotty! Yes, the v at the top is from the same billet as the traditional v

    I saw a post on another thread talking about scarf joints and how even if you get it perfect it doesn't come out perfect after gluing and planing. Unfortunately that isn't true. If it isn't coming out perfect after gluing, the joint wasnt perfect to begin with, or it slipped while gluing. Here are 2 scarfs after planing. It is very possible to get perfect

    any specific reason for the slotted headstock?

    Next time its definitely a better idea to clamp a radius block on the frets instead of directly onto the fret. Those frets will definitely have a big dent/ mishape on them where that clamp was.

    A few teaser pics of new stuff

    looking like a cool guitar. But man those upper frets are really buried in there

    Pretty predictable now, but here is some stuff if anybody is interested. 2022 was a personal worst year both for business and building. Sold a handful of guitars. Made a lot of mistakes. Super disappointed.. business is almost non existent.

    Been a while. Here are a few I've been working on. After years of insanely crazy specs, next year will be back to some more basic models.
