  • Gluing in a guitar neck is one of my favorite parts of the building process. All the bits come together and, when it’s all said and done… Hell, you have a guitar on your hands.
    Okay you still have a lot more to do but you are in the home stretch. In this video We show y’all how to glue in a couple different styles of necks a Gibson mortise and tenon as well as a Texas Toast “Wedge” neck.

    To avoid accidently drilling holes in the back of the guitar body, I dry clamp my body, locate the cavity and drill holes with a hand drill very slowly in the side of body where the glue surface is. It is surprisingly easy to drill and to locate where the holes will fall.

    Another Colorado builder on UA-cam says you MUST let the glue dry and then CHISEL the squeeze-out away. I shit you not. He claims that, if you wipe it, it permanently seeps into the grain. (You know what's more permanent than that? Chisel gouges.)

      Seems that the glue that was left to dry would still have seeped into the wood, so that doesn't make much sense to me, lol. I do agree that glue getting into the wood where you don't want it isn't a good thing tho, at least for stained guitars as you'll see where the glue was. Painted guitars don't matter tho.

    • @Metalbass10000
      @Metalbass10000 5 років тому +4

      I thought the chisel gouges statement was humorous, also. I try to remove squeeze out right away, but not using water. I have had a few occasions when the places I wiped away glue with a wet cloth were dramatically affected in how they took stain or dye. And because the glue was pulled into the wood by the water, surface sanding didn't resolve the problem.

      Yep, I prefer Titebond II for most applications when building guitars and basses. I'll use a different glue if I think it's better suited for what I'm doing, like using Titebond III and Gorilla wood glue for parts of my work benches, and epoxy on my dust collection system on one bench. Good to hear the manufacturer recommend II for instrument builds.

    • @TexasToastGuitars
      @TexasToastGuitars  5 років тому

      Thanks Blind Man60, attaching a neck with bolts screws or fasteners has several advantages... the neck can be removed, the neck can be shifted for alignment in numerous directions including shimmed for bridge issues. The neck pocket doesn't have to be particularly tight. You can finish it in two parts, etc... A set neck has some advantages that include people think it is a classier way to do it (I know I do), there isn't a need for a blocky heel (some bolt on necks don't have this... most do and glue is much cheaper than chrome hardware.

    This was great. I've only ever owned fenders and this will sound really, really dumb, but I sort of don't ...get.. set neck guitars. Like, with all the string tension, and the neck just glued in place, why doesn't it just rip the neck right out of there?
    I mean, obviously it doesn't. And for lotsa people, set necks are preferable for the toanz and shit.
    Is glue just way stronger than I think it is? Or maybe the string tension is more pulling down the length of the neck and not out in front of the guitar, so it's not actually much force working against the joint? Maybe I'm just an idiot - I'm gonna go with a little of all those things.

    So that V seems like a thick boi - was the '58 that thick or is this a deviation in your design.
    78 V was my first guitar (that I bought in 79/80 via lay-a-way, and I still own today) - I love all things V! DID YOU KNOW - the radius on the "shoulder cuts" at the base of the neck is the same as the ends of the "V" (you can mate them like a puzzle piece)!

    Hey Matt, are neck through body a major PITA? I recall a guy that came into my high school woodworking class that built a neck through back in the late 70s.

    Which leads me to ask, why can't you glue in a neck of a screw on neck? It would lead me to believe if you wood up those holes with some dowels, you'd be able to glue it and then be able to cut some of that wood away for better fretting on those lower frets, or even use dowels to connect the neck instead of screws and the glue would expand the dowels. I've wondered about that since my first Epiphone. Thanks.

    Are the wood glues different today than way back when? I was told to let the overage dry, not to wipe. Back then, I guess, wiping would push the glue into the grain & show up in the finish, letting it dry would allow knife/chisel removal & not affect the grain.

      Titebond and as far as I know all aliphatic resin glues will get into the grain and keep the wood from accepting stain evenly. Not a problem if you're not staining the wood. Chiseling the glue off at the neck set stage it very risky from the wood damage point. I use hot hide glue for most of my set necks these days because of easier clean up and a no creep joint.

      I would say that if you are building guitars designed to be disassembled than adhesive, of any kind, is not what I would use. If you have miscalculated the neck angle and glue it in you will need to significantly alter your design or remove the neck with heat. Guitar necks that have glue, screws or bolts all work well. Use what you like the best
