Thanks for the clear video. I followed the directions and was able to make a pretty good v-joint on an electric guitar I just built. The v-joint is pretty. I used a volute to help with the joint strength. I think the joint is strong enough, especially as the string tension is pulling this joint together. BTW, I also used your video on how to spray a sunburst finish, and had great results there, too. Thanks.
First of all thank you for the beautiful video Robert, I have a question though, would it be possible to leave the shoulders of the neck shaft square and angle the end grain of the peghead? it seems that would be easier, maybe I'm wrong
Thanks a lot for sharing your videos ! I was thinking if making templates for both pieces of the wood , will the job could be done ? I have a project in mind to make an electric bass guitar neck (could be wenge,walnut or padouk wood) . Will be this joint strong enough for this project?
i'm very curious about the guitar shown with the veneer on the back of the headstock, i think that is beautiful and would love to give something like that a try. would you attach the veneer and then thickness the headstock separately from the neck in order to achieve this? or would it be a matter of moving the headstock foward so the tip of the male part is flush with the back of the headstock and then taking the excess off the front of the headstock in order to level the neck (shortening the headstock slightly)
Wow. It seems like lots of end grain is being used as a gluing surface. This is a joint used without a head plate also? I like the scarf joint myself. Great video. Thank you for sharing it.
Great!! Thanks a lot, I love a good looking V joint. If im not mistaking the angle of the peghead you said 8° ? Isnt that too low? Im doing 12° on my guitars. Is there any particular reason for this angle?
This is a really fun video, thanks for sharing. Just curious, how log did it take Mr. Nesse to execute this joint? Thanks for all your videos, they are quite inspiring.
Sokadik videó, amiben valaminek az elkészítését, annak fortélyait mutatják be. Itt éppen a V kötést láthatjuk, annyival nehezítve, hogy az összekötendő elemek szöget zárnak be egymással. Gitárok nyaka és feje között alkalmazzák. Ami különösen tetszik, hogy a végső formát és a finomítást vésővel csinálja, de a legérdekesebb, hogy az illesztés pontosságának ellenőrzéséhez vizet használ. #gitár #guitar
i decided to attempt to build electric guitars as a job, i've been watching the videos that pertain to Neck/Headstock, because i think acoustic necks feel better than most electric necks, this is a cool way to join headstock and neck
A lot of work for bragging rights. But it would be a slightly better joint structurally and cosmetically as well, for those who have the time. Thanks for the fine video!
No idea why someone would do a v joint over a scarf joint other than to try to be cool or different. It's obviously much harder to do and not as strong.
+VitalityMassage Well it's not like the neck is going to brake from that point, the joint is plenty strong to withstand the string tension and other wear and tear. Many luthiers actually want to be different from everyone else, so their work will stand out from everyone else's. There is no real reason for abalone either, or numerous other decorative elements in guitars, and yet, they are still used and thankfully so.
@@joahchewbhaka5679 I think the v-joint is definitelly looking better than the scarf joint but it's laborious to execute and it requires great precision. You need to have the time to do it because i'm not sure anybody would pay you an extra for the aditional effort. That's why most luthier work with the scarf joint.
Thanks for this video. I enjoyed viewing it. Well done, as usual. Though this is a technically challenging neck joint, the V joint is totally unnecessary and a waste of time, in my opinion. A scarf joint is as strong or stronger, and can be executed in a fraction of the time it takes to make a V joint. I don't find the V joint particularly attractive either. If you want to make a V joint to impress others, then do so. But it is totally not necessary, unless you have time to burn.

yes, this joint is very strong and shows off your craftsmanship as well.
Great to hear you had good results and are enjoying my videos. Happy Building!
Excelente
Been doing that on the last 2 guitars. Tricky to do but so nice looking!
Thanks a lot.
There are v-joints on surviving renaissance guitars and vihuelas dating back to the 16th century. Some also incorporate a Spanish heel as well.
scoosh :D Such an awesome word :)

If the angle is larger than what I mention you will need thicker stock.

We filmed it in a couple of hours. Without the camera he does it quite quickly.
@behradng Sure, you could do that. Whatever works is the way you should do it.
It definitely takes me several days but it's the first one.

Could this be applied to the neck of a steel string guitar ? Thanks.
@biggestclaptonfan Yes. They are left square.

Wow
Hi, are the shoulders of the female part of the v joint left square? unlike the 8.5 degrees cut on the male part
thanks, Paul
Sure does look sweet when executed properly.. The secret is a sharp chisel & the time needed to fit the parts..
I want to be like y ou i love work with my hand :-) 13 years old love this vidéo
Trabalhoso hein !
Nice video but; pray tell, what is a 'Skoshe'?
+Christopher Smith "a little bit," Korean War armed forces slang, from Japanese sukoshi "few,little, some."
+OBrienGuitars Thanks,never heard that before.
A skoshe is 2 smidgens.
🧐 complexo e elegante
What happens if i revert the male\female cuts?
+nathan sathler give it a shot and find out.
+OBrienGuitars i dont did it, but i thnk that looses strenght whem make the shpe on neck (sorry, regular english)
made 5 piece laminated neck, and it's gonna brake never :)

I agree, I would never buy a guitar like that. Engineering is more important than aesthetics.

Wow, I think I'll stick with scarf joints! Beautiful though..
Really nice join. Now try with a veneer between 😉

that´s nice, but what is the point? too much work
