Hi, inspired by this forum I will be beggining a guitar build on my return to the UK (currently travelling south America).
I´ve played many guitars and I love wizard necks (RG550 from 89 is my favourite), their thinness and finish.
Will I have trouble making a neck similar to this?
There are 2 issues that I can think of:
Truss rod - I know their necks are single action truss: what disadvantages does this have?
(as a side note www.blackmachine.com make guitars with very thin necks using slimmer gotoh 2-way rods)
Materials - I want to use wenge for the neck if I can get my dirty little hands on it. Then I would add carbon fiber strips to reinforce. Would this be sufficient, could I even do without reinforcements?
How does a non-reinforced neck with filets/laminated compare? Is this a better option?
Thanks for reading, I´ll get on with a photo diary as soona s supplies arrive.
Cheers, Rob
