CNC Project - Guitar Neck (and the rest if I can get away with it)

[Washout]

I am watching
saw some guitar neck jig on website but for the life of me don't know how it works.
I thought(know nothing about guitars) the headset(or whatever it's called) was tied into the guitar body with a steel rod and this prevented the string tension from bending the neck, and i have heard nut mentioned.
Videos are GR8

Thanks Mike,

The thing you are describing is the truss rod - its an adjustable steel bow that fits inside the neck and compensates for the string tension. One of the neck videos has me installing them in the Jaguars (the one where I glue the fingerboards to the main neck body iirc).

The nut is the bone or plastic piece at the top end of the neck and holds the strings in place at that point - I will have a video showing me making these once all the paint work is finished.

I doubt it bothers you in the least, but I can't understand how you're not getting more views on this series of vids..!

Keep making 'em - I'll gladly watch more..!

Thanks Wal,

Youtube viewing numbers are a "funny" thing and starting to use the channel properly was also an exercise in learning how the Google/Youtube algorithms work and there is a fair sample of data there now I can drill into. I could of course drum up extra traffic guess by CNC carving a pair of 3D breasts or cats, but chasing "ratings" is a slippery slope I'd rather not go down :-)

Thanks Neil and yes Tele Soon

I've been trying to do some research on the neck of Andy Summer's guitar and it looks like it has a heel adjusted truss rod, but still retains the headstock hole but plugged with a walnut blank. Once I have that sorted out I can begin the CAD/CAM for it. I normally use the TDPRI forums for this stuff, but have drawn a blank so far.

BTW - Do you use Fusion 360 now? If I get some time this week, I'll maybe start the CAD/CAM and then I could give you permissions on the project and try out the collaboration side of the software/cloud.

Cheers

I do !

I do !

Could be the start of a MYCNCUK community project then :-)

and the next part is up - attaching the necks (no CNC this time):

I don't yet but I use Geomagic so I'm sure I'll pick it up quickly enough...I've downloaded it I think, just need to have a play!

Id like to get in on this! I've started some sketches but would greatly appreciate some fusion files!
