Hey, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. Thank you for taking the time to show and explain how and why you work. Please continue to share your skills with us. Thank you.
Man, you have to have a light touch on this kind of work. You can always take wood off, but you can't put it back if you're heavy-handed. Great skill and demo -- thanks.
Thank you for this. I am building up the courage to attempt making a neck from scratch, and I was just looking for some ideas on the best approach, with the tools I have, which are a spoke shave, a plane, a set of rasps, a flat sander, a table saw, a scroll saw, and by some luck I appear to have the same Black and Decker angle grinder :-) I've only ever used it for metalwork before, so I think I'll now have to go and take a look at the sort of woodworking discs that are available.
Actually it is an angle grinder. Black + Decker doesn't make a sander that looks like an angle grinder lol. You can use angle grinders for wood all you want. It's all about discs and technique.
Wow! I was just looking for a video on how to take down and refinish or seal a guitar neck and I remembered FruduaTv. Thanks! I wonder can you do a vid on how to take down slightly an existing neck on my strat with a skunk stripe on the back? and seal it?
Try using a Japanese Shinto saw rasp instead of that common metal one u were using. They are awesome for this kind of wood work. It has both coarse side and fine side in one tool. Well just a suggestion if you've never tried one. Your videos are always full of great information that works! KUDOS to you and thanks for ur vids.

je jee you're welcome. basically you use a router to cut a cavity for the truss rod either under the fretboard or at the back of the neck. i'm no luthier but i figure people that do it on the back either do it for aesthetics or they're using a solid neck (like maple) and not using a glued fretboard
FruduaTv - I didn't expect a reply from the man himself! If you say it only takes you 20-30 minutes, the who am I to question it? Just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your work! Your guitar setup tutorials are really effective, particularly the one on how to tune a Floyd Rose-equipped guitar! And Beatles harmonies breakdowns are really second to none! Cheers!
Its not that hard to do what he is doing. Just do it, of course you will make mistakes your first couple tries but after building a few necks you'll find its really not magical like everyone wants it to be, just another strat neck. Not hating on this guy's work at all just putting it into perspective. You can knock a strat neck carve out almost as fast with a set of dragon rasps from stewmac.
This neck would not please a pro, its typical CNC style, took off the fat but didn't trim the meat you left the bulk of the work on there. In my shop, we constantly hand carve these necks to a shape and feel that I have heard it said wow that feels like dying for so its back to the drawing for you, good luck.
good video but the time you spent building this neck you could have just bought one from warmoth for $100... Time is money. 35 dollars worth of parts/amterials, the 20 minutes to build it and the 1 hour you are going to spend fretting it will be more than buying a neck. When leo designed Strats and teles his sole intention was to make disposable necks that's why he used the cheezy bolt on concept unlike real highend elite boutique builders
Just so we're clear, buying a used neck off of eBay is NOT buying from Warmoth. I look at eBay all of the time and look for good buys. Most of the decent, slightly used Warmoth necks on eBay sell for about $250. Ones less than that have been removed from guitars and you're stuck with pre-drilled holes for neck and tuner mounting as well as being reamed for tuners I may not want. Today, there are only a couple of Warmoth necks less than $200 and the auctions are still going on. Buy-It-Now prices start at about $250 for necks I wouldn't touch. I'm suspicious of "cheap" Warmoth necks because if they're as great as the sellers claim, why are they not still on the guitar?
It's somehow incredibly satisfying to watch..
I agree
It's my original ASMR

Wow! I was expecting some sort of router. That sander, what a touch you have. It is very aggressive, you were in complete control. Beautiful!!
Straordinario. Non mi stanco mai di guardare un liutaio all’opera e lui è il re dei liutai.
Very well done! I like the fact that you use different tools than most people and I think your method is faster and more efficient!
Aerostoon This is more like sculpting and gives you more control on details. :)
Wow..Watching that was both intense and relaxing... What a skilled man.
Sanding in 20 min, dealing with neck problems for life bravo.

angle grinder on a guitar neck ... wow... great skill
It's not an angle grinder, it is a sander/polisher. It has less RPM.
Actually it is an angle grinder. Black + Decker doesn't make a sander that looks like an angle grinder lol. You can use angle grinders for wood all you want. It's all about discs and technique.
@@RobbyWheelerGuitar yep. You can buy the wheels at Lowe's all day long. Lol
Wow! I was just looking for a video on how to take down and refinish or seal a guitar neck and I remembered FruduaTv. Thanks! I wonder can you do a vid on how to take down slightly an existing neck on my strat with a skunk stripe on the back? and seal it?

Thank you for this!
What sandpaper grit do you finalize the neck shape?
I use a worn out 150 grit but you can use a 220 grit :)
Maestro!
Amazing !
So cool
where the trustrod goes? thnks in advance
+je jee under the fretboard before you glue it on. ;) you can also route the back of the neck and pound in a filler plank.
+Kewl Beans thank u!

Nice!
Making jewelry with boxing gloves ! Congrats you’re the boss !
Why you gotta make me feel lazy all the time?!? (Italian-hand-gestures) Echo!, I'm motivated... :)
This guy plays that hand grinder like a Stradivarius
yeah, nice, thanks
Hi Galeazzo, I left a message on your discussion board. If you could find the time to read I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You
Absolutely incredible work! But I GUARANTEE you that neck wasn't done in 20 minutes! I'd say at least an hour, start to finish!
It takes to me no longer than 20/30 minutes to do what you see. I have made hundreds. :)
FruduaTv - I didn't expect a reply from the man himself! If you say it only takes you 20-30 minutes, the who am I to question it? Just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your work!

Thanks Sir!
FruduaTv - You're welcome. You possess humbling skills and ability, my friend!
wooooo...what are these tools??? it burn your wood,no?
This is not a mortal man. Holy crap!
Long time
20hours
L' arte.
In capo 💪🏽fortissimo
Where is the hand carving? This is the fastest way to fuck up!
Casually uses an angle grinder and a flap wheel to shape a neck
Maestrìa
Mi fara sempre ridere... 16 cornut... a chi non piace.... 😂 😂 😂,
Watch him do it in 20 minutes? Ha, I did it in 4.
Better than porn!
Cappo!!!
power tools.... not really hand carving!
Its not that hard to do what he is doing.

Not hating on this guy's work at all just putting it into perspective. You can knock a strat neck carve out almost as fast with a set of dragon rasps from stewmac.
That is guy is a phenomenal Craftsman! But Sorry- no way he did that in 20 Minutes!
This neck would not please a pro, its typical CNC style, took off the fat but didn't trim the meat you left the bulk of the work on there. In my shop, we constantly hand carve these necks to a shape and feel that I have heard it said wow that feels like dying for

Do you have a video with you shaping a neck? Thanks.

When leo designed Strats and teles his sole intention was to make disposable necks that's why he used the cheezy bolt on concept unlike real highend elite boutique builders
Bolt on is hardly cheesy. In fact it's most logical.
+James Rockford Just where are you getting these Warmoth necks for a hundred bucks?
