My Secrets to a PERFECTLY Made Guitar Neck

- Until now I've only built guitar necks by hand, but for this project I'm going all in and figuring out how to make a guitar neck on my ShopBot PRS Alpha! This was a fun challenge and I learned a few crucial lessons for making perfect guitar necks using the CNC that I share in this video!
This project is sponsored by my good friends at BESSEY Tools! Their quality and product innovation is outstanding and is why they're both staples in my shop!

There is way more work into making an guitar that I could have ever imagined.
You my friend have the tools and the know how to get it done.
Rock on Mr. Mike
There is a lot to it for sure! It's been a fun challenge figuring out how to take what I learned building them by hand and adapt it to the CNC. Hopefully the next installment in the series will be out before Thanksgiving. (Got some other cool projects between now and then to mix it up 😃)
Cheers!
you should see it without a CNC...this replaces soooo many specialized jigs, tools and steps
So true! I built about 8 without the CNC, it's a lot more jiggy for sure lol!
Im talkin bout Fret Tang Gang...sho nuff...I am totally jealous of your RAS by the way...what make and model is it?
😂😂 gotta deal with those fret tangs! The RAS is nice dude! It's a DeWalt GA.
I appreciate your video and need some help!
When cutting the truss rod slot, how is the truss rod kept from moving forward?
Thank you!

Thanks! The truss rod should be a snug fit, enough so that just a little pressure is required to seat it in place. Other than that, there's nothing holding it in place. 👍👍 Hope that helps! Happy to chat if you have other questions.
@@WoodshopMike Thank you, I cut a truss rod channel with a 1/4" bit and it would still move. I will look for one that is smaller, maybe that was the problem?
Thank you,
B
Your welcome! One thing you can do is wrap the "blocks" of the truss rod where the two rods are welded or threaded in with a bit of electrical tape. You can also use a bit of heat shrink on it to tighten it up. That's assuming there's not too much play in the slot.
