Thanks sonic
Lookin' great Adam
Attachment 28670 Attachment 28671 a bit of shaping with the bastard file
That's looking real nice so far
Attachment 28688 trussrod grooved out
Attachment 28689 neck roughly cut out
Attachment 28692 fretboard shaped, question for anyone who has done this before, most videos show radiusing and fretting before gluing to the neck. Can i glue the fretboard on before and radiusing and fretting in place
B&G definitely glue their fret board to the neck before radius-ing and fretting. They have some unreal videos on facebook which give some insight into how they do things. They have a jig which holds the neck straight against a linisher and then it's swung in an arc to get the right radius on it. I'll see if I can find a you tube link.
HI Adam, On the three necks i have made so far and one reboard, I have slotted the board, and mounted it before adding a radius and fretting. It shouldn't create a great issue doing it that way, just have to be sure you are bang on centering it as you glue and clamp it.
