Hello.
Does anyone have any step by step instructions as to how I can Make a neck that has a veneer fretboard?
I can make standard necks quite well, slabboard that is, But I prefer the look of veneer, like on old strats and Mustangs etc.
Is the wood actually moulded with heat onto the neck, or is it carved into the curved shape first and then simply glued on?

2. Use a standard fretboard blank, and cut a concave radius into the back of it, using the same setup as for making radiused sanding blocks (there's tutorial by me on the homepage that shows this). Then glue it up with a radiussed caul.
I think I might use/attempt this method.
I read the tutorial a while ago, and this method actually did cross my mind as a way to make a veneer style neck.
Good tutorial, if it's the same one i'm thinking of.
