My First Attempt at Making a Guitar Neck from Scratch 

holy crap that was a lot of free handing... i need to jig the f*ck up big time whenever i want to make things that are straight and symmetrical. im impressed

Masking tape and superglue to hold is a very neat tip, I seen the guy over at crimson guitars do the same thing and when he planed it that was enough to convince me it is probably the best method for holding things while you work on them. Good Job dude.

Great work man! That looks amazing!!Take care and keep on making that beautiful stuff!

Your work is amazing, carry on!

The alternating layers of wood on the neck look great.

I love it. You are better than you think. Love the inlay.

It's gorgeous, i love the look of it. Very good for a first try, knecks can be fun to build.

It really turned out nice. I think the inlay and headstock look great, too.👍😎🎸🎶

Great job mate. I like the way you use the neck template and bottom bearing cutter on the router to get the neck profile/taper and headstock in one cut 👌. I have found the best way to cut fret slots by hand is to make a perfectly square fretboard blank and use a simple jig to keep you 90° to your center line while you cut your slots . I then remove almost all the waste to the profile of the neck blank ( if the fretboard has no binding ) locate with pins to the centre line on the neck blank and fretboard as you have done and it's spot on 👍making guitars is awesome 😍

Very nice! Congrats man

The original body and headstock shapes are awesome!👍😎🎸🎶

amazing work

I dig that headstock 🥰 Reminds me of the epiphone tobias base headstock.

Beautiful!

Superb, detailed info to make a neck,,,,,👍👍👍👍

well done!

Muito bom. . Ótimo trabalho. Parabéns

Good job

I think I have the exact same bandsaw, jointer AND spindle sander. 😆 Nice job.

nice work. I have yet to tackle a neck. Definitely the toughest part of making any guitar. It is however on my "to do" list

i actually really like that inlay

What a great job! You can't tell this is your first neck! And a great job on the inlay! It looks really super good! Love how everything matches, man, thank you for sharing your videos! I look forward to your builds. Thanks, Pam

Amazing!! This would be my dream job, making guitars but machines you use probably cost a little fortune plus I have no knowledge of making guitars... Yet, I am in a proccess of making my own body but I will have to find out somebody to cut it out xD amazing job!

Great job on the neck very inspiring And Next time you mix the voiceover make sure the power tools are lower in volume. They got in the way of a very good voiceover and tutorial. Thanks

nice work man. my only criticism would be that it looked like some of your nut slots were crooked.that inlay is sick tho!

well what do you know. i did something similar with the circle and split in the headstock of one of my guitars. pretty cool.

Life is easy when you have the right tools

Body looks like a frowning ghost. Nice work man. I'm about to get back into building myself. Just need to finish healing up. Dog fight I found myself between destroyed my hands. Damn dogs. But life goes on. I've got some antique koa I'm going to make my next build from. And there is also this beautiful double neck someone was working on that somehow found its way to my hands. I will probably just keep the necks, electronics and hardware. I'm guessing who ever started on this is was around the 80s glam metal days. Because the dumbass routed this sabertooth cat it the front of the body. Not only was it a bad idea. But they did a horrible job doing it. I'm guessing the builder took one look at it after he was finished and gave it away lol. Very nice work but damn dude.its literally like having you favorite food but it's covered in cat shit.

Great work 👌 just curious, whats your process of flattening the headstock angle after cutting it on the bandsaw?

You leave out the fact your are a Pro

Dude, you need a small winnie roller for the gluing instead of that brush.

Looks good to me.

Great looking head stock and nice first time neck but does the glue gum up your tools?

Nice

Perfeito!!!!

Can you please send me measurement to make fretboard.

Where do you buy the wood for this type of project?

Круто! Интересно, из какого дерева дека?

how do you know how wide the neck needs to be?

The body kinda looks scared. But, it'll change once the pickup routs are done.

Doesn’t Purpleheart change colour over time?

Awesome Job! Say, how much did you pay for the wood supplies, and other products? What would you say is the overall total?

Keren

Why didn't you use a fretboard miter to cut the fret slots? Would have been more accurate and saved you some time. Other than that, nice!

why did you choose to use a non adjustable truss rod

Everyone who is using a Shinto Saw Rasp has to tell anyone that he is using a Shinto Saw Rasp. I do it every time, I am using my Shinto Saw Rasp ;-)

the body has a sad face !!

Enjoyed that, well done, I am not to stoked about you modelling the body on my ex wifes face, it gave me the shivers 😱😱😱😂😂

The body has a sad face.

Never wear gloves around those machines. Ever.

would not be concerned about the inlay ...more that the wood does not line up with the tuner holes.....that really looks ugly

Охуенный гриф👍👍👍👌🤝🤝🤝
