Neck Construction
Solid Mahogany neck construction. ...two necks from one piece.
Construction of a laminated neck using the method of stacked heel and scarf joint. ...much more complex. Click on small photos to enlarge.
Simple neck lamination
Typical carving method...
My method for slot head construction... Tuner holes re drilled into the sides of the headstock first. The slots are drilled out and a template is used to route the slot clean. The template is reversed for the second slot. I keep extra material at the top of the headstock to screw the template to and then cut off that portion when I complete the slots.
