I've just completed the neck on my first build & am really happy with the results. Of course with absolutely no prior woodworking experience, you're talking to a bloody expert here!

I got a piece of blackwood veneer for a headstock from guitaraust.com.au
I don't think they carry much stock - I got the only one when I ordered earlier in the year - guess they might have more now.

do I cut the red wire or the green?!!! ha ha. I think I'll give this first one a go before I glue it on to the neck. I'm using a pre-radiused board, & have a press caul to match which I'll try with my drill press. Then a trip to Carbatec to grab some West epoxy for the gluing! I've got a bunch of th...

it's great to hear what works for each person, & they're all often different!
I'll try to post some pics as I'm getting into things - might be month or more though. Probably be under the heading "A Fools Guide to Building A Guitar"....... :D

neck construction

Hi everyone, as I am just starting to make my first neck I have been doing a bit of reading up on what order to do things. I can see the merits of shaping the neck before the fingerboard goes on, so that neck movement that may occur while removing timber has happened prior to fingerboard gluing. The...

starting out

hi everyone, new member here & I'm just about to start building my first guitar - a bolt on neck solidbody. I'll probably only get an hour or two a week to work on it, so it will be a long, slow process - especially with the fairly bare workshop I have! LOL. Hoping to have it done by the end of the ...
