Really nice necks. How did you cut the scarf joints if you don't mind divulging? And what kind of finish is on the first neck?

Thumbs up.

Hi bud, thanks alot!

When the neck blanks are laminated (if appropriate) they are squared (Planer thicknesser comes in handy!) , then I cut the diagonal on a bandsaw, plane it by hand and use a sanding block on both sides... then glue. The hard part as when you have glue in between the two parts want to slide apart under preassure. so I knida wedge them and use an elaborate system of clamps.

Melvin Hiscocks book as a good way which is what I use.

They all are or will be finished with danish oil.

VERY nice headstock scarf! PLEASE make a dinky body with a spalt top to go with this! I almost feel like you short-shifted the neck by putting it on that body hahaha.

+1, that is exactly what I was thinking.

Great looking neck. I'm amazed by that thickness. What sort of truss rod did you use?

cheers,

well unfortunately I dont have the time as I have this to finish two others, a JEM style for moi and a gibson junior style for a person.

cheers guys.

yea nor had I until my Dad had ben asked to make a table out of some. I was originally gonna use maple, as this neck was initially more of an experiment rather than a serious actually-going-to-be-used neck, but it turned out great!

yea I tried to get the figuring to 'flame' on the FB, it does look good, the pics dont really do it justice (I took them on my phone). Once its all done I may enter for GOTM.

Hi guys, this is one of my latest builds, its a jackson dinky body with a neck I have made.

-Neck is birdseye maple with mahogany headstock and heel, with a flamed sycamore and walnut burl veneer laminate between the neck and FB.

-FB is Spalted Hornbeam.

-Headstock is veneered with walnut burl.

-PU's are Rio Grandes high output.. sound great!

-This neck is THIN!! thinner than a wizard, its about 16mm at fret 1, maybe less, and I may even shave a bit more off as it seems fairly stiff.

-Bridge is an Ibanez Edge lo-pro.
