Hi
What is the correct length for a gotoh double action style trussrod ?
I was thinking that it should be from the nut to the neck joint ( in this case the 19th fret) .
But I've seen lots of photos where the rod extends into the guitar body.
Is my trussrod OK ?
Thanks
Richard

Thanks for thr Reply
I'm using a no5 jack plane . Found some info on setting it up ( an article from Fine Woodworking ) and I think its cutting OK.
The shooting board idea seems good the parts I'm not happy with are generaly where a slight rounding over has occured
I can see how it would work for the neck blank, which is norrower than the plane - how do you use it for the body blank, which is wider than the plane ?
Also do you lay the plane on its side on the board ,or clamp the board against the wood and use the plane normaly ?
Thanks

Hi
I've got my plane good and sharp but am not 100% satisfied with the results I'm getting when I try to joint my body and neck blanks.
I've tried searching for a tutorial but so far have only come across one for thicknessing .
Anyone got any good tips or can point me in the right direction with a link please ?
Thanks a lot

Hi
I'm gonna build a copy of a gibson firebird VII - but I haven't been able to get hold of any plans. The best I've found is a template / outline drawing .
So basicaly I need the following info. :
Thickness of the "wings"?
Thickness of the central body section?
Width of the central body section?
Is there a step between the central section and the wings front and back or only on the front of the guitar?
I hope someone can help me out
Thanks in advance for your help
