OK, so this is going to sound weird, but hear me out!
I made a multi-laminate neck for an SG-style guitar, and have the rest of it left over that I figured I'd use for another (see attached photo). Well, I want to use it for a Jazz-bass, and it's long enough for the neck and heel, but not quite long enough for the headstock.
I am thinking of attaching another piece of wood for the headstock, etc., as I'm going to do a veneer on the face anyway. I REALLY want to use this as the neck, as my customers love the idea of me using the "same" neck for both of their instruments.
Only thing is - I'm doing a Fender-style headstock with no angle.
How would you approach this? I know it's possible, because I mean, look at a scarf joint - joining 2 pieces of wood. What would it matter if it was a completely different piece of wood? The wood WILL be of the same exact type as the main part of the neck, however.
Anyway, I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has done it, and would love some ideas.
Thank you!
