Really interesting demonstration of how James Tyler guitars make their compound radius necks. Wondering if this is a ‘standard’ process for creating a compound radius or unique to James Tyler guitars?
@@emmanuelromont6616Thanks for your reply Emmanuel, I have 3 Strat necks from Warmoth one of which is a compound radius. They make great necks, and now I know how they did my compound radius!
I believe it's to use more of the sanding belt surface. If the neck and belt are setup to be parallel, you'll only be using a narrow strip of the sanding belt.
@@MayoSham No, my understanding is that the compound radius is produced by virtue of the two pivot points of the "pendulum" being at different distances from the sanding surface. The arc described at one end is tighter than at the other.
This is amazing handiwork. This guy deserves a raise
Very cool!
I’ve always been curious about how this is done. Awesome.
Thank you for the awesome video! Great lookin' work !!!
Those bespoke jigs must’ve taken ages to think up. Tyler is unique.🎉

I am curious as to why the two pivot points of the swing arm are angled across the sanding belt?

Does not the actual angle give you the compound radius?
