  1. I always appreciate your encouragement Scotty!
  2. Thanks man! Ive gotten to the point where thats how i want my builds to be. Where they look great at a glance, but the longer you look, the more detail you see.
  3. Despite the issues, I have started building necks again after 5 months. The new fret leveling guy is awesome! Also got this amazing abalone block inlay board from doug.
  4. This one is thicker than my standard. .82 at the first fret, .89 at the 12th. Dual action rod. 13* headstock angle, graphtech nut
  5. Maybe? This one isnt a multi piece neck, just maple with an ebony fretboard.
  6. Yeah man, when i saw in in that slow motion vid i couldnt believe it. how is that even happening?
  7. Here is a little update. I found a local guy who does fantastic fretwork. He used to work for jackson and some other companies. Interestingly enough, his master fretwork still ends up having the same issue. Check out this video. When i pluck a string firmly, you can see how the whole string vibrates so much it hits all of the frets.
  8. So no actual discovery on the fret buzz.. So I've been sticking to making bodies. Finished a couple of long term builds too.
  9. Your builds are great, man. You build exactly like how i would do it.
  10. did you seal it first or is that on raw wood?
  11. Haha daddy drak! I'll call Pimentel this week sometime.
  12. So somebody pointed out something to me on one of my guitars. I dont think its true, because i dont see it, but allegedly its the cause of the buzzing on all my guitars. I wont post it here, but if you are curious, message me.
  13. So another update. Ive decided to stop making necks all together. I still never found out the buzz issue. I also had a retun and and also had to cancel a build half way through this week, which totalled 3100$, most of which was out of pocket. From now on i'll only be building body blanks and warmoth builds.
  14. You kind of answered your own question on the neck angle. It depends on which bridge. Ones with tune o matic bridges do, ones with floyds and evertune dont. I think you definitely need a locking nut if you are going to be using the trem.
  15. I mean its possible. I usually add the relief that would normally be created by using the truss rod
  16. I can definitely put relief into them. Most of my necks are thin, .8" at the first fret, .85 at the 12th. with the notched straight edge, i can see even relief develop and disappear, when adjusting the truss rod. There is a possibility that maybe it isnt creating relief evenly? My only option left is to level under string tension
  17. I always set up with a notched straight edge. I can get it perfectly straight with no gaps anywhere, using the straight edge. Then i ad just a sliver of relief in. I also did carbon fiber on 2 of the necks, same result.
