Shaping a guitar neck with a file actually saved my life. Tingling in the arms, ER visit, stress test, surgery and back to hand filing necks.
That's a cool reason to shape necks by hand if you ask me.
Extremely creative jigs and setup, great work. I also us that type of router bit on occasion, creepy bit! Also use a radial arm saw for fret slotting, have the .025 blade, and various scale setups, constant fret slot depth. Brad from Canada!
I remember many years ago, I was at McDonalds in Santa Monica, CA, and I heard wood shop sounds coming from behind the store. I wandered back there and found John Carruther's workshop. I had no idea who he was at the time and there was no internet for me to look him up. He saw me and invited me in. He showed me his process for making necks. He was such a great guy and excited to share his work with a total stranger. I remember thinking that I would love to make guitars. He was my first inspiration to get into guitar building. I now spend most days building guitars. I just built a pickup winder and have made excellent sounding single coils and neck humbuckers. I'm working on getting a perfect sound on the bridge humbucker. I've been watching Dylan's videos among others. I see the same enthusiasm and love for the art in Matt and Chris. Thanks guys for the excellent content!
You mention "different climate" in this video. Can you comment on (maybe you have a video on this) your humidity levels in your shop and how you all think about the affects of dimension change on the final product? Do you store tone wood in a humidity controlled environ? I build in a very dry climate so am curious to your take on this topic. Thanks!
I have some beautiful maple that has green streaks in it, would this be OK to use for necks???
It isn't something I have seen a on guitar before. Big leaf, flamed stuff.
Thanks for the hands on teaching!
Unfortunately I dont have a homemade deadhead sander so I have to make my necks the faceted method with Shinto rasp. Hard on the arms but it gets the job done. Jealous of that sander. 🙂
You have got to do what works best for you. When I made this video I was just demonstrating our methods
If this can help you, I had some decent results using a disc sander from a cheap belt and disc combo sander in the same way - Matt's videos inspired me to try using what I had in a different way. You have to have a firm grasp on the neck and be careful as it rotates and removes material very quickly (and it is narrow so you can put a dent easily), but it works for doing the rough part of the job. I have seen some belt sanders which can have the belt placed vertically and that should work even better. Not as accurate as the dead head sander but for my amateur builds it's good enough and quicker than doing all the neck with rasp and file from full thickness - I now use those for the final shaping and save a good amount of time.
Great video. Very informative. I liked the spindle sander on the heel of the neck. When is the Icon class?
Thanks man, I'm not sure if it's going to be a full on Icon workshop but we are looking at June or July for something close
I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos!
I was expecting to see a round-bottomed spokeshave. The one neck I made (never again!), I owned hardly any tools, and managed to shape it with my Granddad's flat-bottomed spokeshave. It turned out just about ok, but nowhere near as professional as a neck made using decent power tools.
Oh man, I shall never use a spoke shave ever again.
Great work! Man, I would love a pin router, but it wouldn't fit in my shop (garage). Heck, I almost don't fit in my shop (garage).
Great stuff!!!
Love that soft touch on the shaping of the neck that is years of practice
Awesome work Matt!
Thanks my fy
1:55 - gospel for this style of neck. 🤘
Thanks my friend
Thanks so much for the video, Matt. I really enjoy these guitar construction vids. I have a question: you were frequently measuring neck thickness at about the 1st and 12th fret when you were using the dead-head sander. What thicknesses do you build to? It appears this measurement is from the apex of the fretboards to the bottom of the neck.
Thanks Darryl I'm going for .86 at the first and .90 at the twelfth. But you know how it is you should match to your preferences
I have many learned from your videos.
Impressive that you did all that on my Level 1 that is so beautiful.
Actually, our Level 1 guitars aren't done this way
What kind of file are u using? They seem to cut fast
Those are some ordinary rasps from Amazon
Thanks
Thank you Matt. God bless you.
Thank you my friend
it's also funny how those people always have a falsetto voice.
They really do
@@TexasToastGuitars I believe it
Artisan at work!
Thanks Bob
