Building A Neck Thru Guitar Part 2 The Wood 

I’m glad I found your channel. I am learning a new language and skill set.

Once you try a Shelix or Lux Cut helical cutterhead you will never go back. Its not just the quality of the cut but the maintenance, No more changing nicked knives, you just rotate one cutter, The harder cutters also last a long time. Are the expensive? Yes but I have known people using a Byrd cutter for over ten years and still on the second facet of the cutters. Not to mention the are quiet by comparison.

Awesome info, thanks!

I always enjoy seeing your creative and clever solutions to problems using brain power instead of money.

I usually buy some extra wood for the shop. It's a 2 hour round trip for me to get good quality wood. Being able to process your own material is a real game changer for a wood shop.

Hey very cool seeing this, there’s some familiar stuff going on in your video! I was just at Austin Hardwoods picking up neck material, (maple ash and walnut) I’m also doing a couple neck throughs this run and doing pretty much the same process you’re doing at the same time 👍 thanks for the video I enjoyed it

Hello Highline Guitars thank you for this video and all your videos and awesome Luthier/wood working tips! I really enjoy it and am especially intrigued and interested to watch how you will make this neck through body.Im a hobby builder and how you will set the neck angle coming off the body is gonna be de-mystified.That will be awesome!

Just a suggestion: Instead of going through the hassle of gluing small pieces directly to the carrier piece, use the masking tape and superglue trick. You glue a strip of masking tape and both pieces and use the superglue on the masking tape instead of the wood. Super strong, and comes right off without heat gun and other shenanigans.

A great video once again. You've inspired me to make my own blanks.

Grande! condivido le tue scelte nell'organizzazione e gestione del lavoro

Thank you for these videos! They are always informative and entertaining :)

Ah, Chris! I'm glad i decided to catch up on the older episodes of this build! the tip on planing thinner bits of wood with a thicker blank under them and using super glue was perfect timing for me. Just got a 12.5" planer over the holidays from the wife and i have been mulling over how to get past some of the dimensional limitations. One question, my planer manual states that it is unsafe to plane boards less than 12" in length, and expressly recommends against doing it, are there any situations where you have run into this concern? Any possible work arounds??

Enjoyed the video, it was something new. Mind if ask what moisture level do you look for in lumber?

Do you have a problem with snipe with your planer? From watching the video, it doesn't seem like you do. Did you have to do anything to counter act it? Thanks.

Jealous of your pricing. In Canada here in the Toronto area that piece of Paduk would have been $60+ :( Thanks for sharing all that you do!

Very interested in where you get your cad files

how long should the material be seasoned?
