OK….. just Neck……..

The neck is laminated to make it strongerer. For this guitar I used strips of Mahogany for the outside and Jarrah for the centre strip. I also used a black veneer (pressure dyed maple) for a pinstripe either side of the Jarrah. It’s blooming lovely. After gluing it together and cleaning it up flat and straight the first real job is to route the truss rod slot. I find it easier to do this when you have a solid lump of wood to work on. Once you start cutting out the shape it becomes a lot trickier to hold. This way I just stick it to the bench and use a router with a fence guide to make the slot.
