I love that you've taken a dive into the electric guitar tone wood debate!!! What fun.

A leg tapering jig is used in general woodworking ( you can build or buy them ) mostly for making tapers on the length of a table leg, chair leg, etc.

Yes, that’s what I initially used it for, years ago. Picked it up at a yard sale…. - Rob

There are neck carving jigs like this one where you can make different "Pucks" that will change the shape of the carve. I've seen them on the RU-vids, but it's been a few years. These seem primarily for electric guitar necks. Also, it's a production device for making lots and lots of guitar necks. For me, the neck carving process is one of the most fun things, so I would never put it into production. Great video Eric!

A Mr Fletcher from Australia makes a finish sanding jig for neck joints . Extremely accurate . Cut free hand , finish sanding in jig . And I have the same problem with fret tangs sometimes . Get a stewmac saw they are slightly thicker . Carefully select your fret wire dimensions when you buy wire . Peace ✌.

Hey Eric, yes, his jig can accommodate different profiles and is accomplished by creating a template that attaches to one end of the jig. That is why the springs are very important, as the neck gets rotated the spring keeps the neck in contact with the template as it slides up and down in the slots. I hope this quick explanation makes sense; it's all explained in the video if you care to watch.

And I completely understand that my head stock question was an aesthetic one and not a functional one....but this is the third time you've told me I was overthinking something. 🙂

In answer to the "INTERMITTENT RANDOM QUESTION OF WHENEVER" I like Fender a lot but I would also use Ibanez. Those neck profile jigs have a caul at each end for the pattern. So different cauls provide different profiles.

Look up the Temple Guitars video "Carving a guitar neck radius in under 4 minutes with this jig!" where he explains how to get different profiles. It's a cool jig.

I agree with you Eric 1000% regarding electric guitars & tone wood. That guy with the L.P. Strat & muisic man. All great guitars but a stat is a through body L.P. Stop tailpiece, different sound. Scale length, I have built from scratch over 20 electric guitars, Iam no expert however the only difference in the wood is the finished weight of the guitar & the looks but not tone..

Hey Eric, it's time for you to make a 12 string acoustic, IMO.

I think you may have mentioned Jim Lill in a previous video. But if you didn't, he made a video that completely busts the tone wood on electric guitars or any wood for that matter. He eliminates the wood from what wood be a Tele set up and hangs strings from a saw horse to a work bench with in-between. And guess what? It sounds like a Telecaster. I think the tone ideas carried over from acoustic guitars that came before. There is a saying about hearing with our eyes. We humans tend to receive the result we were hoping for. Especially if there was a lot of money involved.

YMMV = Your mileage may vary. Also, couldn't agree more on electric guitar tone woods. They contribute far less to the tone than the build/design and the pickups.
