Well I think it is going really well. Chuffed.

Now to mess up the transitions.

I am learning Atomic by Blondie. Nice fairly quick octave runs. Just trying to work out the bass solo.

All done, best playing jazz I have had. Probably because it P shaped!😁😂

What an utter derrière making a non standard pick guard. Getting there though.

Lovely stuff. If you've come this far I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. Carving a neck is nowhere near as difficult as you might expect.

Thanks for the link.

I then cut out the fret board once thicknessing it and the neck. Marked it up and stuck it on. Thats where I am upto. I expect to fall down on this project when it comes to carving. But i am enjoying it. Would love to have a playabke neck at the end of it but who knows.

I then drilled the hole for the truss rod.

Ran it round the router.

Cut the shape out on the bandsaw.

Then cut for the truss rod.

I have been wanting to have a go at a neck for a while now. Not had the time. Now I have an abundance of tume but stull very little skill!!

So first I made up a router jig from some old kitchen units.

Only one kind of Deacon cool. He and the image of his yellow shorts sent me on my way. (Honestly)

Gonna be great that. Really.like the look of it.

Prejazzion coming along.

Looking great. Watching with interest as O need to give this a go soon.

I had that. Just kept buying tiny items from them and negging every time. Eventually it stuck. Cost me a fortune. Never had the phrase cutting off your nose to spite your face been more apt.😂

21 Frets?

Just came across this from an old auction. It was new to me so thought i would post the link.

Thought it was quite interesting.

Imagine what the actual one would fetch!

Thanks very much. Had a really annoying slight buzz on A 5th fret so had the neck off and gave it a flat and crown.

Thanks very much.

Couldnt wait till tomorrow!

Play great new set og chrome flats. Lovely.

Really pleased I asked your advice guys, I went  for bronze, the gold was tok blingy. Well chuffed with the overall look. Love it.

Bolt the neck on tomorrow and tuners and see what it sounds like.👍😍😊
